Open a child window to work like alert box in Firefox

Question

I want to open a child window to work like alert box in Firefox. and user should close the window before proceeding with any other operation. I want to do this because in Firefox the alert box title displays the ipaddress and I want to customize it.

Answer 1

Based on your description, another window does not seem like a reasonable solution. There are many JavaScript plugins that will give you a modal overlay within the same page (more analogous to an alert box).

Maybe have a look at:

Answer 2

Here is a basic example of a modal dialog box I wrote in response to another SO-question.
