Javascript close alert box

Question

I want to be able to close an alert box automatically using Javascript after a certain amount of time or on a specific event  i e  onkeypress    From my research  it doesn t look like that s possible with the built-in alert   function   Is there a way to override it and have control over the dialog box that it opens   Also  I don t want an override that shows a hidden div as the alert   I need an actual dialog box

You can use label and set its fade in and out time for e g  Hide it initially and show on click      div Message   fadeIn 500  delay 1000  fadeOut 1500

no control over the dialog box  if you had control over the dialog box you could write obtrusive javascript code   Its is not a good idea to use alert for anything except debugging

I guess you could open a popup window and call that a dialog box  I m unsure of the details  but I m pretty sure you can close a window programmatically that you opened from javascript  Would this suffice

As mentioned previously you really can t do this   You can do a modal dialog inside the window using a UI framework  or you can have a popup window  with a script that auto-closes after a timeout    each has a negative aspect    The modal window inside the browser won t create any notification if the window is minimized  and a programmatic  timer based  popup is likely to be blocked by modern browsers  and popup blockers

You actually can do this you can basically listen for this pop up to happen and then confirm true before it ever  pops up    if window alert     return true

If you do it programmatically in JS it will be like reinventing the wheel  I recommend using a jQuery plugin called jGrowl

Appears you can somewhat accomplish something similar with the Notification API   You can t control how long it stays visible  probably an OS preference of some kind--unless you specify requireInteraction true  then it stays up forever or until dismissed or until you close it   and it requires the user to click  quot allow notifications quot   unfortunately  first  but here it is  If you want it to close after 1s  all OS s leave it open 1s at least   var notification   new Notification  quot Hi there  quot    body   quot some text quot     setTimeout function    notification close     1000    If you wanted to show it longer than the  quot default quot  you could bind to the onclose callback and show another repeat notification I suppose  to replace it  Ref  inspired by this answer  though that answer doesn t work in modern Chrome anymore  but the Notification API does

The only real alternative here is to use some sort of custom widget with a modal option  Have a look at jQuery UI for an example of a dialog with these features  Similar things exist in just about every JS framework you can mention
