prompt boxes

i'm new to javascript, and so I'd like to know if there's a way to make
a prompt box, that, instead of having "ok" "cancel" and a text box,
would just have buttons of "yes" "no".

Is there a method that can do it?

You are probably looking for the "confirm" function instead of "prompt".
You can not decide what text is on the buttons.

ok... I've done it. that's what I wanted. Now tell me something:

when I press ok button what result should go to a local variable?
i'm asking?
if (option == okbutton) do this ----> what should be the value instead
of okbutton?
else do that...

I am not sure I understand the question.

The way I use the confirm function is

if (confirm("Shoul d we go on?")) {
//do something on OK
} else {
//do something else on Cancel
}

The confirm function returns a boolean, either true or false,
depending on which button you pressed.

In Access 97 I used @ to make message boxes to separate the lines, rather than have the message all in one line. In Access 2000, all that happens is that "@" appears all over my message boxes. Is this feature in one of the libraries that isn't installed by default in Access 2000, and if so, does anyone know which one?

Hi, when my program uses system(), system("latex temp.tex") in this case, to execute some DOS-command on Windows, I always have the prompt popping up in front while the command is running. How can I prevent this? I simply want to execute the command, but not see any DOS-boxes (just like in an Linux environment). Thanks,

Hi, I have an ASP.Net web page that you can download a file. As Fergunson's problem, it prompts twice dialog boxes only if I select Open button. If I select Save button, it prompts once. I'm using W2000KS & IE6 sp1 & VS.NET 2003. If I change method="post" by method="get" form attribute, it works fine.
