Hi, In IE-only, you can use VB script to format some extra options in the alert (or prompt), see: http://wsabstract.com/javatutors/vbalert.shtml or you can use "showModalDialog " see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ref erence/methods/showModalDialog.asp This has the same effect as an alert - the interface is frozen untill it's dismissed, and you can style it as you like. IE only again. Cheers, Richard.
