Browser popup Alert Grey box… Where do I enter the code given by W3Schools on the page inspector? Ty
Hello
I got the bellow code from: http://www.w3schools.com/JS/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_alert
If you click on the above link and the “show alert box” you’ll understand better what I mean. Ty
<html>
<head>
function show_alert()
{
alert(“You have read, understood and accepted Terms and Conditions before entering the site”);
}
</head>
<body>
<input type=“button” onclick=“show_alert()” value=“Show alert box” />
</body>
</html>
This exactly the browser onclick popup grey box that I want on my website, also, I notice that RW uses the browser onclick popup box somewhere…
However, I do not know which tab do I enter this code in the page inspector???
Can you help me? Ty.
Kind regards

The Following goes into Page Inspector>Header>Javascript
function show_alert()
{
alert("You have read, understood and accepted Terms and Conditions before entering the site");
}
And this part goes wherever you want the button on the page.
<input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" />

Hello Phil
Not sure if I understood the second part:
And this part goes wherever you want the button on the page.
<input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" />
Does it mean that I enter this code on my homepage = index.html (styled text page)?
And instead of “button” should I enter “glassbutton.png”????... because it is where one clicks to enter the site.

OK - I have a little better idea of what you want.
The code you originally posted was for a browser generated button.
So instead of that, when you link the button.png, use the ‘custom attributes’ pane in the link window to enter the ‘onClick’ and ‘value’ attributes.
This is how it should look. You will need to export the site to see it work.
Best,
Phil

Hello
Okay, I’ve tried the above codes as follow:
Entered the first one as told on page inspector/head/javascript.
Entered the second code, both ways. Either way, when I go to preview it shows the code+when I click on either “button” or “glassbutton.png” it does not bring up the Browser Alert Grey Box???
Do I have to export and publish to eliminate the code from showing and get it to work, as one does with the Contact Form php?
Do I have to upload any file to Cpanel?
What am I doing wrong? ... Poxy seemed rather simple on W3Schools :(

If you follow my directions above then this should be the result when you export the site to the desktop.

Hello Phil
Posted the above reply at the same time that you posted yours.
I’m using RW Version 3.6.7
I do understand what you mean now, but where can I add the values you gave me without the attributes box??? In my version it shows on the add link =
* URL
* Open in
* Title
* rel
I looked for attributes on media/page inspector but ...oh no… I don’t know what to do :(

Where there’s a will there’s a way 
You can sneak the code into the ‘rel’ field thusly
" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box
Important note: a quote mark must precede onclick and there is no quote at the end.

Hello Phil
Works fine, I exported the site and the link is set as it should = opening my homepage. But the browser grey box title shows “JavaScript Application”.
I have set URL and title, so I am wondering if it is happening only in export and once I publish the site hopefully it will disappear and either show my own URL or title, from either my website or from the browser instead of “JavaScript Application” as grey box title?
It is 3AM in London-UK and my mind in on delta zone…. Would be nice to have an answer before publishing the site. Gee… I must get some sleep and I’ll finish this project when I wake up.
Thank you for your kind help.
God bless
