How do I pop up an alert in Javascript?
I tried alert\"HELLO\"
but that didn\'t work.
Can someone tell me the correct syntax?
Oh by the
if you're having problems with alerts, it probably means your javascript is disabled in your browser, but if it isn't these methods should solve your issue.
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.alert("Hello World!");
alert("Hello World!");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">alert("Hello");</script>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction(){
alert("hello");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="submit" onClick="myFunction()">
</body>
</html>
Here is the JavaScript function which has an alert box. This function is called by clicking on the submit button.
Unlike VBScript, Javascript requires parentheses around function calls.
Therefore, you need to write alert("Hello!");
It's also prefereable (but not required) to end every statement with a semicolon ;
.
Finally, if you aren't already, you need to put it in a script block, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Hello!");
</script>
In responce to the end of your original question, there is no "javascript exe". You can put javascript inside a script tag in an HTML page, or you can make a standalone .js
file and double-click on it (in Windows) to run it using WSH.
There are a few ways.
Use your web browser, type this code in address bar.
javascript:alert("Hello World!")
Open web developer in your web browser, go to console and type:
alert("Hello World!")
Type the code in .html or .js code as shown in other answers above.
You need to add parentheses:
alert("HELLO");
