Message Boxes

[davman2002]

Is there an easy way to show a message box using Javascript? I would like to be able to prompt the user on an event such as a text box lost focus.

<textarea cols=&quot;30&quot; rows=&quot;10&quot; onBlur=&quot;javaScript: alert('you lost focus');&quot;></textarea> DeZiner

remember: do NOT use the &quot;javascript:&quot; pseudo-protocol in an event handler. ONLY use it in an href attribute.

correct:
onblur=&quot;doSomething();&quot;
href=&quot;javascript:doSomething();&quot;

wrong:
onblur=&quot;javascript:doSomething();&quot;
href=&quot;doSomething();&quot; =========================================================
if (!succeed) try();
