is there a way of changing the values of the confirm box from ok / cancel to
yes / no
i have the following alert/confirm box but it is worded in a way that the ok
and cancel do not make sense:
function confirmNewSupplierWelcome(){
return confirm(
'Before going on to request a new supplier\n'
+ 'are you sure there is no suitable alternative?'
+ '\nRemember, new suppliers are authorised by exception only'
);
}

No, there isn't. Sorry.

You more or less provide the solution yourself: change the wording of the
question.

You can't change it.
The question should be phrased so those responses make sense.
For example,
Click Cancel if there is a suitable alternative;
otherwise, click OK to request a new supplier.
Remember, new suppliers are authorised by exception only.

the question, too), maybe the following thread will interest you: http://groups.google.de/groups?threa...2h9h%404ax.com

You can try to use the showModalDialog() method to display your questions.

Yes, if you target MSIE on Windows only. VBScript is not supported on
any other platform (AFAIK). See the example below. If you implement
VBScript in your documents, and have any intrinsic JavaScript (like
`<element onwhatever="jscode">´), make sure that the VBScript block is
not the first script block in your document, since MSIE ignores the
"Content-Script-Type" HTTP header equivalent and interpretes any
intrinsic script as of the type of the first script block found in the
document ...

You could use 'pop-up' divs that are styled to look like dialogs.
Then you can support any browser with JavaScript, rather than just
those with VBscript.
Try to make your client outcome focused: the intention is to
determine whether the user wants to request a new supplier, not get
them to say "yes" or "no".
Sticking with confirm:
Before going on to request a new supplier,
are you sure there is no suitable alternative?
Remember, new suppliers are authorised by exception only.
Click 'OK' to request a new supplier, or
click 'Cancel' to not request a new supplier.
The question is poorly worded anyway - I may not be sure, but I may
still want a new supplier. So no, I'm not sure but yes, I want a new
supplier. Hmmm.
Just suggestions...
