Hi all
          I hav to catch the messages displayed in alert boxes using some javascript. Is ther any way to trace if any alert boxes are running in the page?
Wat i am need is, if any alert windows are opened(say confirm boxes, message boxes, prompt windows, alert boxes etc..),the javascript must capture the message displayed in the above boxes. Ideas invited.

Thanks
Rohith

Getting the value of a Prompt window isn't hard in javascript something like:

var myString = prompt("Whats the question?","")

myString will then have the value of whatever the user types into the prompt box.

Confirm, message, and alert boxes I don't even know if you can grab the information from the window. (Button clicks you can, but the text, I don't know)

Since the developer has control over what these boxes say, I guess the assumption is that you know what it says when it is displayed. You could write a funtion that would fire when a box is displayed to let you know what box is being displayed, other then that I am not sure how you would do this.

Thanks for ur valuable time. But this is not enough for me. I am creating just a frame work for some others websites. I need to access the messages in the alertboxes displayed on those sites..

Thanks

You can try googling your problem, but I don't think you are going to have much luck. prompt windows, like I said, are easy to grab the values that are placed into them; all of the other boxes are static (unless you are using some sort of variable to determine the message) and I know of no possible way to read that information via JS or even .NET.

I've a typical requirement. I need to catch the user input thru javascript prompt box (e.g., enter your name : http://www.echoecho.com/javascript4.htm and Click 3rd box from left) and submit the input to the server after performing all kinds of validations. Put it in otherwords, I've a asp.net server button submitting few values (by using asp.net server controls) upon performing required field/custom validation checks. I should be able to open prompt box (and force the user to enter some input other than spaces) to the user once all required field/custom validations are passed and just before final submission to the server. Is there any way to achieve it?
