Is there a JavaScript alert that doesn't pause the script?

Question

I\'m looking for something like alert(), but that doesn\'t \"pause\" the script.

I want to display an alert and allow the next command, a form sub

Answer 1

98% of the time there is a way to move your message script so that it calls after everything else executes. For that other 2%, I like to use floating divs that look something like this. You can then change your CSS to match the style of your application/website or to make it look more like a standard windows popup.

/*HTML*/


/*javaScript*/
function openWindow(id){
"use strict";
document.getElementById(id).style.visibility = 'visible'; 
}
function closeWindow(id){
"use strict";
document.getElementById(id).style.visibility = 'hidden'; 
}
function myMsgBox(TITLE,MESSAGE) {
"use strict";   
document.getElementById("msgBox").innerHTML = "
" + TITLE + "
" + MESSAGE + "
";
openWindow("msgBox");
}

/*CSS*/
.floatingDiv {
position:absolute;  
z-index:10000;
left:33%;
top:250px;
width:33%;
background-color:#FFF;
min-width:217px;
text-align: left;
border-radius: 10px 10px;
border:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color:#000;
vertical-align:top;
padding:10px;

background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #CCCCCC 0%, #FFFFFF 25px, #FFFFFF 100%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #CCCCCC 0%, #FFFFFF 25px, #FFFFFF 100%);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #CCCCCC 0%, #FFFFFF 25px, #FFFFFF 100%);
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #CCCCCC 0%, #FFFFFF 25px, #FFFFFF 100%);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #CCCCCC 0%, #FFFFFF 25px, #FFFFFF 100%);

box-shadow:3px 3px 5px #003; 
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#000033', Direction=145, Strength=3);
}
