A popUp div seems like a reasonable solution; but when this popUp div appears on the screen & the User clicks outside the popUp div, then isn't the popUp simply minimized?  (You could use an onblur window.close(), but is that desirable?)

And once the popUp div is minimized, any subsequent calls to the popUp div will not cause the new/next popUp div to appear on the User's screen  because it's already minimized?

A valuable aspect of "alert();" is that it is modal(?), i.e. requires User response before resuming app execution.

popUp div's and/or perhaps a little piece of the screen's "real estate" being dedicated to error msgs (& the like) provide some degree of User interaction; but they don't have the impact of an "alert" or "confirm" or "prompt" box.
