Can I apply CSS to JavaScript Prompts?

Question

I'm using standard Java Script prompts on a website I'm developing, which I haven't done since the nineties! So I need to update my knowledge a little.

Since web design has changed somewhat in the intervening years I'm trying to figure out whether I can use CSS to make these dialogs a bit nicer to look at. If this is not possible I'd thank you for telling me, or if you can provide a link to a tutorial or similar article I would be grateful.

Answer 1

Thank you for your spam Layla.  I've seen that you post this link as often as possible.

The standard javascript input box: no.

But you can create pop up boxes that accept input with standard html forms using CSS.  That would be a better route to go than using the javascript input boxes even if the default is okay simply because it's part of the page, not the browser.

Answer 2

No, css does not apply to JS dialogs. If you want it to look nice you will have to fake it with separate window and html form

Answer 3

No, you can't style the default JavaScript prompts. You can however create your own prompts that you can style. For this you best use a library like Yahoo!'s YUI. An example (and the link to yui) can be found in the souces below
