Java Alert Boxes
Okay, Long story short, I'm making a webpage with links to notes taken on specific dates in my college Criminal Justice class. I made an HTML table to organize the dates of class. Problem is, there are a couple days that we didn't take notes because we either took a test, had a class discussion, or class was cancelled. I want to make a link that will pop-up with a yellow text box [
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/java/article.php/3470731 (scroll down until you see a green underlined link and place the mouse over the link, but don't click. The box that pops up is what i want to creat)], burt until i can figure out how to do that, i'm using java alert boxes with the following codes:
"<a href="javascript:void(null)"
onclick="alert('Class was cancelled this day.')">
<font size="2" face="verdana" color="#c51585">
<b>- 31 Oct 05 -</b></font></a>"
"<A HREF='javascript:onClick=alert
("Class was cancelled this day.")'>- 31 Oct 05 -</A>"
I can make that work, no problem. My question is this, does anyone know how to make the yellow background pop up text box that i mentioned earlier, and does anyone know how to make mulitple lines of text in the same alert window?
Appreciate any help. Please e-mail responses to st_kilburn@tarleton.edu
Thanks.

Just use:
<a href="#" title="popup message here">hover here</a>
background:

for security reasons, (i.e. to prevent your website spoofing a system dialog, etc...) the dialogs available in a web application are fairly limited.
You have "alert()" (with a message and an "OK" button), "confirm()" (with message, "OK" and "Cancel") and "prompt()" (message, text input, "OK" and "Cancel")
In certain versions of IE, you can pop-up a modal HTML dialog but... well, that's only in certain versions of IE.
Your other options are:
- opening a full-fledged new window (not recommended for dialogs)
- creating "virtual" a modal dialog using an absolutely positioned DIV

"Just use:

That works. It's not exactly what I was going for, but it works just the same.

Carlos,
Yes. Finally someone understands what i'm trying to do. This page is exactly what I want. I thought I would try it with the javascript alert boxes, but IE is asking if I want to show blocked content before it will show the alert. This site explains everything I need.
Thanks
