Can I add buttons to jQuery “alert”? [closed]

Answer 1

Using "JQuery UI" (a library written in javascript using another library named JQuery) you can use this code:

    $('body').append('<div id="yesno_dialog" title="Yes Or No"><p>Do you wish to Yes or to No</p></div>');
    $("#yesno_dialog").dialog({
        title: "Yes or No",
        resizable: false,
        modal: true,
        buttons: {
            "Yes" : function () {
                alert("You chose yes.. now let's do something else here");
                $(this).dialog("close");
                $(this).remove();
            },
            "No" : function (){
                alert("You chose no.. now let's do something else here");
                $(this).dialog("close");
                $(this).remove();
            }

        }
    });
}  

But you probably just need to return the value from confirm

    return confirm("Are you sure");

Answer 2

alert() is a JavaScript function and has nothing to do with jQuery.

You probably want the confirm() prompt (which again, is JavaScript, not jQuery).

var result = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this user?");

if (result) {
    // Delete the user
} else {
    // Do nothing; they cancelled
}

For more advanced popups, you could emulate your own popup using "model windows"; plenty exist if you search on the Internet.
