Changing the default title of confirm in JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to modify the title of the message box the confirm   function opens in JavaScript    I could create a modal popup box  but I would like to do this as minimalistic as possible  I would like to do something like this   confirm  This is the content of the message box    Modified title      The default title in Internet Explorer is  Windows Internet Explorer  and in Firefox it s   JavaScript-program    Not very informative  Though I can understand from a browser security stand point that you shouldn t be able to do this

This is not possible  as you say  from a security stand point  The only way you could simulate it  is by creating a modeless dialog window   There are many third-party javascript-plugins that you could use to fake this effect so you do not have to write all that code

I know this is not possible for alert    so I guess it is not possible for confirm either  Reason is security  it is not allowed for you to change it so you wouldn t present yourself as some system process or something

Yes  this is impossible to modify the title of it  If you still want to have your own title  you can try to use other pop-up windows instead

You can always use a hidden div and use javascript to  popup  the div and have buttons that are like yes and or no  Pretty easy stuff to do

Not possible   You can however use a third party javascript library that emulates a popup window  and it will probably look better as well and be less intrusive
