This looks fairly simple, but 30 minutes of googling took me nowhere. :-(

How do I create a simple JavaScript dialog / alert with a bo box so my user can select a value before submitting? I am using this for a rejection reason so user clicks on reject button and must select a reason from a bo box inside an alert / dialog popup window before submitting.

Thanks!

• javascript

• Isn't something already made for that? JQuery? Prototype? It looks like something basic to be re-used over and over again... – TraderJoeChicago Commented Jul 13, 2010 at 1:45

The inbuilt JavaScript dialog functions alert, prompt and confirm can't do this. Rather than use a "real" popup instead, which creates a button in the taskbar, try creating a window-like <div> element as an in-page popup, with the bo box.

See if Impromptu suits you. Check example number 17.

You can't do that with alert(), prompt(), or confirm() methods. You would have to create a popup or popin to host the bo box (select).
