In the event that there was a mistake in the example code provided and it should have been written as follows:
var result = window.prompt("Please enter your name","Andrew");
then, unfortunately, you do not have the ability to customize the text or modify the labels on the buttons for this particular function. This limitation also extends to the built-in alert()
, confirm()
, and prompt()
.
While it may require more effort, one alternative is to create your own custom dialog box using HTML with a transparent <div>
to overlay the rest of the page, preventing user interaction until the dialog is closed. Alternatively, you could use a semi-transparent <div>
to clearly indicate that the rest of the page is inactive.
Instead of starting from scratch, consider utilizing existing JavaScript libraries that offer this functionality. For instance, the jQuery dialog plugin is straightforward to implement and can save time.
