Merging Java and VB for alert boxJavascript. I need a java alert box that contains text that eventually will come from an sql table. The alert box should activate when the user clicks on text or a button (or something similar). The test code below will do most of what I need (I didn't include the code to retrive from the table for simplicity). Since I don't know much java, I'm attempting to do as much of this as easily as possible in an aspx.vb codebehind file rather than attempting to figure out how to directly embed the java on the page. The only problem is that I don't want the Button to post back, and asp button postbacks can't seem to be disabled. What is the easy alternative? An HTML button apparently requires me to use code with which I'm not yet familiar to alter the alter text. Is there some other way to do what I want? Dim a As String = "testing popup" Dim code As New StringBuilder code.Append("alert('") code.Append(a) code.Append("')") BtnInfo.OnClientClick = (code.ToString) Thanks in advance Jeff You might want to post this to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

This is not direct an installation or whatever question, it is in my idea about using the VB.net language.

Okay, fair enough. I'll follow your guidelines.

I have a sample from a html textbox that you can use. However do it in a VB.Net way. Just open a textbox on your page that you hide when you don't need it. Than a nice label below in the same way and your user will be much hapier than with such an ugly dialogbox.

If I put in the textbox, I had to toggle something else invisible to make things fit. I did more checking and found out that by adding the "return false" to the alert box code, that the postback could be disabled. Apparently the return false typically was designed for confirmation boxes, but it works for alert boxes also. So the below does what I want, although I wish there were a more elegant solution, similar to opening the texbox as you mentioned. I may keep messing with the cosmetics and figure out a better way. Dim code As New StringBuilder code.Append("alert('") code.Append(QuestionTableCopy.Item(0)("QuestionMore")) code.Append("');return false") BtnInfo.OnClientClick = (code.ToString)
