Enhanced prompt

Show all headers | View raw

I have a requirement here that is very similar to
window.prompt(...), but slightly exceeds it. Let's assume the
requirement is that the prompt text contain a clickable link.

I have tried to write an enhancedPrompt(...) function in
DOM/JavaScript, but so far failed, because this function would
have to wait for the user to click on the [OK] or [Cancel]
button, then return to the calling routine.

So far it seems to me that this cannot be programmed in
DOM/JavaScript. I may have to split the calling routine into a
first part that creates the dialog (for example, an absolutely
positioned element with a higher z-index) and a second part that
gets called when the user clicks a button.

I can do that, but I would still like to know whether I am
overlooking something here. It looks like a somewhat painful
limitation of the DOM/JavaScript combo.

All good thoughts are welcome.
