I need to ask my web site's user a Yes/ No question. in javaScript

Question

I need to ask my web site's user a Yes/ No question. Currently I use JavaScript's confirm() function. The return value is true (OK) or false (CANCEL). The word CANCEL is misleading. I want to have the buttons say Yes/ No instead. How can I do it? i m using php..Code should run on both IE & Firefox

Answer 1

How about using a JQuery dialog?

Answer 2

If you truly cannot rephrase the question as OK/Cancel, then you will need to create your own dialog in a div or something and 'pop it up' to the user. (You could also create a dialog as a page and then use a popup window to display it as a real native OS modal dialog, but this is perhaps more annoying.)

Unfortunately, javascript's browser built in dialogs are pretty limited.

Answer 3

With HTML:

<div id="yesNo">
  <p>Press Yes or No</p>
</div>

and jQuery:

$('#yesNo').dialog({
  modal: true,      
  buttons: { 
   "Yes": function() { alert("Yes"); } 
   "No": function() { alert("No"); } 
  } 
});

Or use standard confirm dialog (but it will have Ok, Cancel buttons):

if (confirm("Are you sure?")) {
  alert("Yes");
} else {
  alert("No");
}

Answer 4

Use something like jQuery UI. It has a nice dialog (including modal). As well as it have many other nice feature you may need in your webapp.
Of course you can paraphrase your question for OK/Cancel answer. But i think UI library is your friend.
