Show list of options using JavaScript prompt

Question

In JavaScript, is it possible to show a list of options to click using a prompt window, instead of a list of options to be typed in manually?

I'd like to present each option as a button, instead of asking the user to type the options manually (as shown here):

var OptionChosen = prompt('Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4:')

You can't do that, but you could use jQuery dialog box instead.

Example jQuery:

var selected = 0;
$('#dialog').dialog({
  title: "Prompt",
  buttons: {
    "First": function() {
      selected = 1;
    },
    "Second": function() {
      selected = 2;
    },
    "Third": function() {
      selected = 3;
    },
    "Fourth": function() {
      selected = 4;
    }
    // ..............
  }
});

with html:

<div id="dialog">
    <p>Choose your option</p>
</div>
