How do I put a link to a webpage in a JScript Alert dialog box?

Question

I would like to put a link to a webpage in an alert dialog box so that I can give a more detailed description of how to fix the error that makes the dialog box get created.

You can't - but here are some options:

• window.open() - make your own dialog
• Use prompt() and instruct the user to copy the url
• Use JavaScript to just navigate them to the url directly (maybe after using confirm() to ask them)
• Include a div on your page with a [FIX IT] button and unhide it
• Use JavaScript to put a fix it URL into the user's clipboard (not recommended)
