Special Alert Support

This little extension installs a command that act exactly like the JavaScript function alert().

The difference, though, is that the text comes into a TEXTAREA instead of being printed inside the dialog box. You can therefore Cut and Paste the text.

Overview

This is very useful for some reasons :

  • When designing some HTML stuff, and want the get the code generated by DW
  • When you need Cut and Paste the text you have in the alert
  • When your alert string is too big, and the dialog is bigger than the screen
  • ...

Screen Shot :

How to use it :

When installing the extension, you get two main files : the command and a small javascript interface called special_alert.js

Insert the following statement into the <head> tag of your file :

<script src="../Shared/Special Alert/special_alert.js"></script> Of course, you need to adapt it to the location of your script

Then you can use the command with a simple call of special_alert(message) function where 'message' is the text you want to see into the command.

Language version for 'Special Alert'

June 1, 2003 by Dalton Gilson

Bruno

Wow!, very, very nice, and simple -- like all really good ideas!

...just a small although very much important suggestion:

- either You settle a way for Visitors translate the header 'Special Alert' to their own languages (what I do think it's difficult, because most people, like me, don't manage the computing languages You used,

- or You can make available some versions -- like in Portuguese and Spanish ("Alerta especial"), in French, German, Italian...

Nevertheless, thank You for this gif!
