link in alert boxes javascript

Question

I have a simple question. I have the following code:

alert("Are you sure you want to add: \n" + redirURL + "?");

the variable redirURL is an actual working url. I would like it to be 'clickable'

thank you in advance

Answer 1

use window.confirm instead of alert

if (window.confirm('If you click "ok" you would be redirected . Cancel will load this website ')) 
{
window.location.href='https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/index.html';
};

Answer 2

You can only display text in the alert function. If you want to put an url, you can do it by using jquery's dialog function. Here are some code examples: http://jqueryui.com/dialog/#default

Answer 3

If you want to open the Link on alert and that too in new window, Use the code below:

if (window.confirm('Ok to Confirm, Cancel to Stay here'))
   {
   window.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank');
   };

Note that most browsers will treat these links as popup.

🙄

There is an alternative too, Both works same, find it below:

//write this above first
let a=document.createElement('a');
a.target='_blank';
a.href='https://www.google.com';

//then use this code for alert
if (window.confirm('Ok to Confirm, Cancel to Stay here'))
{
a.click();
};

That's not possible to put clickable links in alert windows. The closest thing you could do is using a modal window, like this: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals
