While browsing, I stumbled upon this intriguing query related to alerts and confirm dialogs, such as the one generated by alert('Hello World!'). My quest was to find a method to modify the text on the 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons, which unfortunately, does not seem to be a straightforward task. The answer to this query revealed an interesting fact - apparently, the operating system plays a role in generating these confirm boxes rather than the browser itself.
I've previously heard these dialogs being referred to as 'native,' but I mistakenly assumed that they were exclusive to the browser, not the OS.
This led me to ponder - what exactly influences the appearance and functionality of these dialog boxes? Is it the operating system, the browser, or a fusion of both? Does the browser autonomously manage these dialogs, or does it rely on the OS to present them, then capture the outcome?
