[Javascript] JavaScript Prompt Box

[Håkan Magnusson]

Just to add a suggestion,

you can create another div as well, with position 0,0 and width/height 
100%, z-index one below your PromptBox, to simulate the "modal" 
behaviour of normal alert boxes. When your promptbox shows up, simply 
show the (empty but covering the entire page) div behind it, preventing 
any link clicking until the user has reacted on your promptbox.

I don't know if I'm being very clear, but hey, it's 19.00hrs here, and 
I'm half way to the bar. Hope this helps anyway.

Regards,
H
