[removed] Overriding alert()

Question

Has anyone got any experience with overriding the alert() function in JavaScript?

• Which browsers support this?
• Which browser-versions sup

Answer 1

When it comes to js browser functions window.alert is pre-eminent and most well known, people who don't know js know alert() -- rest assured it is supported in all browsers in use today and your code snippet is as well. However, I wouldn't override (well this is more like refactoring rather than override in the OOP sense) alert() for a particular use case as yours because when you actually need to use alert() with no template, and you probably will, then you'll need another non-alert function to do so.
