No, alert() assumes this structure:

    alert(some expression)

...where "some expression" is pretty much any JavaScript expression - if the expression is not a string it will be converted (though in some cases, e.g., for some objects the result might not be very meaningful).

So:

alert(variable);
alert("string literal");
alert(variable1 + variable2 + variable3);
alert(variable1 + ", " + variable2);
alert(resultOfFunctionCall());
alert([1,2,3]);
alert(whatever() + "else" + you.can.think + "of");

Or even:

alert();   // displays "undefined"

Note that if you are trying to debug your code you are better off using console.log() than alert(). If you are trying to produce a dynamic message to show the user just concatenate variables as needed, e.g.:

alert("Hello there " + name + ". Welcome.");

Do you mean this :

alert (variable1 + ', ' + variable2);

No jQuery is required in this case.
