Question

I would like to put a link to a webpage in an alert dialog box so that I can give a more detailed description of how to fix the error that makes the dialog box get created.

How can I make the dialog box show something like this:

There was an error.  Go to this page to fix it. wwww.TheWebPageToFix.com  

Thanks.

You could try asking them if they wish to visit via window.prompt:

if(window.prompt('Do you wish to visit the following website?','http://www.google.ca'))   location.href='http://www.google.ca/'; 

Also, Internet Explorer supports modal dialogs so you could try showing one of those:

if (window.showModalDialog)    window.showModalDialog('mypage.html','popup','dialogWidth:255px;dialogHeight:250px'); else    window.open('mypage.html','name','height=255,width=250,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,modal=yes');
