No it is not possible, this is handled by the operating system not the browser.You could maybe try creating a div with the highest z-index and trick people into thinking it's an alert...

Yeah, good alternative :)There may be the "modeless-" or "modaldialogbox" for an alternative, one of those two, I çan't remember which one, does not allow to focus back on the parent window, thus some like the real alert :)The <something>dialogbox is editable, you may customise it to your preference. There is only one thing, in IE6+ there will be a forced statusbar at the bottom of the dialog, even if you open one without it. The reason is because of the popup blocker that was buildt in IE6. However, it would be a great challenge to recreate an alert by using either these methods :)But for only coloring the text, that is not possible. I do have read about some styling measures for the alert, but can't remember where or even what they were, sorry

ModelDialog is IE only, same with ModelessDialog.If you need to use ModelDialog to solve this rproblem then this link shows how to create a cross browser ModelDialoghttp://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/javasc...odal_dialog.asp
