message box for .net web application

[bev]

I have been developing a .net web application and have
come across a road block within my expertise. .net is
the first web language I have used. I have found that I
need java script to do some of the functions I would like
to perform. so far I have been able to work around most
functions however, my user would like a message box to
appear on screen when the user's browser is netscape. I
am able to recognize netscape, but can not display a
message box. A coworker informed me that I needed java
in order to display a message box in a web application.
Can anybody help me with the java(both code and where it
should reside) necessary to display the message box?

I create a seperate Javascript file

the javascript is simply

function popUpMessage()

{

confirm('Your about to map a site ok?');

}

I then call this by adding the javascript to an attribute of the button on
my page load.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

Button1.Attributes.Add("onClick", "popUpMessage();");

// Put user code to initialize the page here

}



Hope that helps.



regards. Phil.

Hello Bev,

Phil is right. You could use Javascript to launch a message box in client side. You could also refer to window.alert method to
do so.

Just pay attention that we can't use MessageBox to show dialog in code behind file. Since this kind of code is running on
server side, so the messagebox will be shown in the desktop of server, which blocks the web application.

Thanks.
