how can i implenent alert?

[geniiyr]

there is a very important function in "alert()" that: when we call "alert()", the javascript program will be interrupted until we press the "ok" button, and how can i implement this function in my own function..?

thanks.......

This has been discussed before in the forums. There's no way to do it directly as alert is built into the browser and works on low-level browser APIs. To simulate this, most people end up writing two parts to the code: the first part shows a JS dialog, the second part is a callback function executed after the dialog is dismissed that runs the next part of your code. There's really no way to "pause" the browser effectively.

Why can't you just use alert ?
