Question

I have following script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 jAlert("message","title");
</script>

in my html head.but the dialog is not showing up when I load the page(it would if I simply use alert).

where did I do wrong? Am I missing the corresponding js files?

edit: I included the jquery.alerts.js file.it is still not working.

edit: I added this line and put the file in the dir

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.alerts.js"></script>

Yes I put it inbetween.

I opened the browser console and saw this:

“Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘scrollHeight’ of null jquery-1.8.2.js:9405”

jAlert isn’t a part of native jQuery.

You can find the project page here, the download link is at the bottom.

Make sure you include it straight after jQuery – your code should look as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery.alerts.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.alerts.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){
      jAlert("message","title")
 });
</script>
