Javascript alert() box cannot be formatted.

If you wish to format the text you should use a custom modal popup.

The alert() dialog is not rendered in HTML. so better option to go with custom alert box or confirm box.

Here you go: Modal Dialog Box

You can't do it. But you can use custom Alert and Confirm boxes.

You can read about some User Interface libraries here:

There is no way to change the text style in the standart alert. You might look through these links about creating DHTML popups, though I think that is far too much work to just bolden the text on an alert.

There is no way to change the text style in the default javascript alert box.

If you want to style an alert you would be best served by creating a 'pop up' div, in which you can put in HTML content. Something like fancybox may be better suited to your needsd.
