javascript alert box with radio buttons

Question

I want to create an alert box with 3 radio buttons in it. It should be like

'Replace' 'Save' 'Merge'

along with OK and Cancel buttons. Any idea how to achieve this?

Answer 1

There is no default javascript box that does this, you have confirm() , prompt and alert available and that's it.

There are however widgetsets/libraries that give you this option. Try Ext JS for example

Answer 2

To add to what WoLpH said, you specifically want a modal overlay that can be called programmatically similar to an alert box. Give jQuery UI or YUI a try.

Answer 3

You can use javascript to create modal dialog box with the controls you would like to show. You can customize the look & get rid of the default grey dialog boxes, it's really cool. Check the link below.

Answer 4

use the input tag to generate radio buttons

<input type="radio" name="button_1">Replace</input>

and div tag to generate you okay and cancel buttons

<div id="cancel">Cancel</div>

and have the onclick functions of your div's be a javascript call which pulls the data out of the radio buttons.
