Writing into an Alert Box: Using window.alert()
The window.alert() method is used to display a message in a popup alert box. It temporarily halts the user interaction with the page until they acknowledge the message by clicking the “OK” button.
Example:
JavaScript
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Alert Box Example</title>
<script>
function showAlert() {
alert("This is an alert box!");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="showAlert()">Show Alert</button>
</body>
</html>
- Usage: Useful for displaying simple messages or warnings to the user.
- Consideration: Overuse of alert boxes can disrupt the user experience. They should be used sparingly.
