JavaScript interactive form in alert box?

Is it possible to put a form into an alert box and then display that to the user? Afterwards I would want to submit the data but I presume it would work the same via a 'POST' method or such.

I had a quick play around but couldn't get it to work, not much on search engines either.

Thanks for any help!

If it's just a single input, you can use the built-in prompt() method.

Otherwise, you would have to pop up your own form.

I would recommend you jquery shadow: http://www.htmldrive.net/items/show/650/jQuery-Custom-PopUp-Window.html

Or if you want you can develop your own form (html, design, css, javascript).

You could use jQuery UI's dialog. This allows you to turn a DIV into a pop-up box.

An alert box is not editable. You can use javascript to create a new browser window with your form in it.

General form is like this: window.open('url to open','window name') You will fall foul of popup blockers if you handle 'when' you do this badly.

This is quite a nice simple walk through with live examples http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jwinopen.htm
