Alert window/pop up help

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

Hey, 
 
I did a search and the best I could come up with to do what I want is the code at the bottom. 
 
Basically, I want to have an alert window pop up with a message when a button is clicked. 
 
So for example someone wants to email me but my email is down, they click the email button and an alert window pops up saying so. I won't use it for anything quite that silly but you get the point. 
 
The code I have copied here makes the alert box window open at page load. Can it be set to open when clicked? I screwed around with it quite a bit but wasn't able to get anything that worked. 
 
<html> 
<body onload="drawAlert()"> 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
function drawAlert () { 
alert ("This is an alert message that can say whatever you want!"); 
} 
</SCRIPT> 
<body> 
</html> 
 
Thanks all in advance, 
GordLink: 
 
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#" onclick="alert('This is an alert message.'); return false;">E-mail</a> 
 
Button: 
 
<input type="button" value="E-mail" name="AlertButton" onclick="alert('This is another alert message!');" /> 
 
Try that.It works perfectly, thanks so much. 
 
GordYou're welcome.
