Here we will see each dialog box one by one:
Alert Dialog Box:
An alert dialog box is mostly used to give a warning message to the users. Like if one input field requires to enter some text but user does not enter that field then as a part of validation you can use alert box to give warning message as follows:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
alert("Warning Message");
//-->
</script>
</head>
|
Nonetheless, an alert box can still be used for friendlier messages. Alert box gives only one button "OK" to select and proceed.
Confirmation Dialog Box:
A confirmation dialog box is mostly used to take user's consent on any option. It displays a dialog box with two buttons: OK and Cancel.
If the user clicks on OK button the window method confirm() will return true. If the user clicks on the Cancel button confirm() returns false. You can use confirmation dialog box as follows:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var retVal = confirm("Do you want to continue ?");
if( retVal == true ){
alert("User wants to continue!");
return true;
}else{
alert("User does not want to continue!");
return false;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
|
Prompt Dialog Box:
The prompt dialog box is very useful when you want to pop-up a text box to get user input. Thus it enable you to interact with the user. The user needs to fill in the field and then click OK.
This dialog box is displayed using a method called prompt() which takes two parameters (i) A label which you want to display in the text box (ii) A default string to display in the text box.
This dialog box with two buttons: OK and Cancel. If the user clicks on OK button the window method prompt() will return entered value from the text box. If the user clicks on the Cancel button the window method prompt() returns null.
You can use prompt dialog box as follows:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var retVal = prompt("Enter your name : ", "your name here");
alert("You have entered : " + retVal );
//-->
</script>
</head>
