No, but maybe you can create a fresh window that has no location, buttons,
etc.

Just lookup window.open() for details on how to create a window without
stuff you don't like.

You can try with showmodaldialog of DHTML, if u like...
the dialog window will give u the alert box effeft but i am afraid, it
might work only with IE

just make buttons in the "yourpage.h tm" page and that's it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
window.showModa lDialog("yourpa ge.htm",,"dialo gHeight:30;dial ogWidth:33;edge :Raised;center: Yes;help:No;res izable:No;statu s:No;")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for more parameters info on showModalDialog visit the Window Object
Methods in the following link

-Good Luck

Yes, you can write your own custom dialog's, they are just in-window
dialogs is all instead of being outside the window (or new windows if
you prefer to think of it that way).
if yes, can anybody guide me through the mechanism ....
Create an in page DIV tag and style it to look like you want it to look
with input elements in it. When you want to use that dialog, you call a
script function that will hide/show the dialog accordingly.

Whatever you do, don't fall into the IE-only modeless dialog or the new
window trap. Its a futile exercise.

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to replace standard text on confirm-popup buttons from 'ok' and 'cancel' to some other captions. If not, is there a way to create quickly custom dialog, with only two buttons, returning 'true' or 'false'? Would I have to use forms to return value from my custom dialog? Thanx for any help.

I can't get my custom-made modeless dialog box (Visual C++.net Win32) to respond to clicking the close button or pressing Alt-F4. I am using the IsDialogMessage to check if messages are for my dialog. However, my dialog procedure doesn't seem to get a WM_DESTROY message when I click the close button. Also, pressing Alt-F4 does not close my application when the dialog has focus (it does terminate when my main window or another child of...

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear.

Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

I want to create a custom control that encapsulates a Button & a TextBox. When the Button is clicked, the user is asked a question using JavaScript confirm (which shows 2 buttons - 'OK' & 'Cancel'). Till this point, no problem. Initially, the TextBox is empty. The Button has a property named 'ConfirmMessage' so that the developer using this custom control can modify the question in the confirm dialog. If the user clicks 'OK', I want the...

A custom control is derived from the WebControl class & encapsulates a TextBox & a Button. When the Button is clicked, the user is shown the JavaScript confirm dialog with the 'OK' & 'Cancel' buttons. If the user clicks 'OK', the TextBox gets populated with 'true' & if 'Cancel' is clicked, the TextBox gets populated with 'false'. Note that when the user first comes to the ASPX page that uses this custom control, the TextBox is empty. This...

In VB6, a custom dialog can be easily created by adding a new form, adding whatever controls you like, sizing it as you like, adding code and then just loading/unloading it whenever you like. Using Access 07, a form is a little different beast and it would appear a custom dialog cannot be created in the same way. How does one go about creating a custom dialog? Note that I am not well experienced in programming but I have a couple of...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
