http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1905289/how-to-edit-a-javascript-alert-box-title

Which say that there is no solution. Is it true there are no other way?

Answer 1

Yes, I confirm that. There is no way.

There seems to be a solution for IE using client-side VBScript, but I wouldn't really recommend that path.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend using the alert() function altogether.

Answer 2

In my opinion, popping up an alert dialog [and blocking input to the main browser window] is sort of annoying.

It's more appealing to the user if you just stick a div in the middle of the screen. Plus, it's more style-able...
