Changing the default title of confirm() in JavaScript?

Question

Is it possible to modify the title of the message box the confirm() function opens in JavaScript?

I could create a modal popup box, but I would like to do this as minimalistic as possible. I would like to do something like this:

confirm("This is the content of the message box", "Modified title"); 

The default title in Internet Explorer is "Windows Internet Explorer" and in Firefox it's "[JavaScript-program]." Not very informative. Though I can understand from a browser security stand point that you shouldn't be able to do this.

Answer 1

This is not possible, as you say, from a security stand point. The only way you could simulate it, is by creating a modeless dialog window.

There are many third-party javascript-plugins that you could use to fake this effect so you do not have to write all that code.

Answer 2

YES YOU CAN do it!! It's a little tricky way ; ) (it almost works on ios)

var iframe = document.createElement("IFRAME"); iframe.setAttribute("src", 'data:text/plain,'); document.documentElement.appendChild(iframe); if(window.frames[0].window.confirm("Are you sure?")){     // what to do if answer "YES" }else{     // what to do if answer "NO" } 

Enjoy it!
