I've been using custom Alert boxes for a long time in various guises.
The way I've shown below is perhaps the easiest.
There are more efficient and cleaner ways to do it, but this is so easy, it
works a treat.
You can also put new <DIV> tags inside the alert to have "Accept" "Decline"
"Cancel" buttons

<html>
<head>

<script>
function stylealert(){
placement.innerHTML=message.newalert.value
}
</script>

</head>
<body>


<form name="message">

<!-- PUT YOUR ALERT AS A FIXED SIZED DIV INSIDE THIS CSS-HIDDEN TEXTAREA -->

<textarea name="newalert" style="visibility:hidden">
<div style="width:256px; height:170px; background-color:yellow; border:solid
1px black;"onClick="this.style.visibility='hidden'">
<br>
<center>
<b>
A new kind of alert box
</b>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Click to Close
</center>
</div>
</textarea>


<input type="button" value="Click for alert" onClick="stylealert()">

</form>



<!-- IF YOU WANT TO POSITION THE ALERT DIV USE CSS - position:absolute;
left:Xpx; top:Xpx -->
<!-- OR USE JAVASCRIPT TO DETERMINE THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN-->
<a name="placement"></a>

</body>
</html>

First thing I get are two alert messages telling me that my browser
doesn't meet your warped perception of "acceptable", so I didn't look
further.


Any site that discriminates based on browser usage should be avoided
like the plague.

Read the FAQ, all of it, but especially section 4.26
