I want to use WatiN to verify the error message in a JavaScript alert box. Is this possible? Thanks.

One useful function that's native to JavaScript is the alert() function. This function will display text in a dialog box that pops up on the screen. Before this function can work, we must first call the showAlert() function. JavaScript functions are called in response to events.
The alert() method in JavaScript displays an alert box with a specified message and an OK button. It is often used to make sure that information comes through to the user. The alert box takes the focus away from the current window and forces the browser to read the message.
An alert dialog box is mostly used to give a warning message to the users. For example, if one input field requires to enter some text but the user does not provide any input, then as a part of validation, you can use an alert box to give a warning message.
Alerts should never be used for debugging unless you intend for it to stop the execution of the code for a purpose. Otherwise, you should be using console. log because alert can actually change the result of your code if your code involves asynchronous logic.
see Trev's Blog and here as well.
using(IE ie = new IE("http://hostname/pagename.htm"))
{
AlertDialogHandler alertDialogHandler = new AlertDialogHandler();
using (new UseDialogOnce(ie.DialogWatcher, alertDialogHandler ))
{
/*************************************
* -- alert -- *
* *
* must use the "NoWait" to allow *
* the code to goto the next line *
* *
*************************************/
alertDialogHandler.WaitUntilExists();
alertDialogHandler.OKButton.Click();
ie.WaitForComplete();
}
}
