Answer 1

Indeed, I would personally discourage you from using Javascript alert() boxes altogether - they look 1995-ish and don't provide for a nice, customizable user experience. Instead, like the other poster suggested, use a standard Javascript library that will allow you to pop up a "modal" floating DIV, as well as paint a semi-transparent color all over the background, which will make for a beautiful, understandable, easy-to-use user interface.

Answer 2

Afaik, it cannot be positioned where you want it.

Instead of using the default js alert box, you can always use one of the JS framework / toolkit solutions that offer way more in terms of functionality and customization.

I'm personally a fan of jQuery and jQueryUI
