theres nothing extra you can do with confirm and alert - you need a new
window.

If you want to have a scrolling section within a window, you can either use
an IFrame, or have a DIV with a specified size and "overflow-y:scroll" in
the style or class.  Neither are supported by older browsers though.

I have a form which submits a subscription request, when the user clicks 
submit i want to pop up a box which asks then to agree to the terms and 
conditions (4 pages worth) related to the subscription. I want the T&C's 
to be in form where the user scroll up and down them to read them and then 
clicks a yes no button. I though of doing this through a confirm() 
function but there appears to be no way to make the confirm message have 
scroll bars (like when you agree to a license when installing software) am 
i going  about this the wrong way. 
please help, i am not sure if i need to start mucking about with pop up 
windows etc.
