The ways to put boxes on the screen with JScript are alert() and confirm().
When I have a web page that I sometimes want to have put up a 'message box,' I have added a function with a variable that I either do or do not fill, depending on whether I want the 'message box' to be shown or not.
Then I call that function when the page is loaded. I am using
VB 6 and IIS, so values are filled in with replaceable tags that start with <WC_
name_goes_here> and end with </WC_
name_goes_here>.
This is what I have (in part):
Code:
<script>
var start_msg = "<WC_OpeningMsg></WC_OpeningMsg>";
function OpeningMessage()
{
if (start_msg != "") alert(start_msg);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="OpeningMessage();">
Iâm not sure how, in .NET, you would fill in that variable, start_msg, but if you can do that, then here is one way to present a message box when showing a web page.
If you are trying to do all of this at the client, then you would just have client-side script that uses alert() to show a message.
In an allert() or in a confirm(), \n is a new line, quotes can be inserted with \".
Code:
alert("Hello,\nhow are \"you\"?");
will produce:
Hello,
how are "you"?
Messagebox
