Is it possible to prevent a user from closing a JavaScript alert until 10 seconds have passed?
I trigger an alert, and then user must wait “x” seconds to be able to close it.

Here’s a better way:
You’ll want to avoid alert, since you have no control over the dialog box with it. Instead, try a modal dialog like ThickBox. It’s a jQuery plugin (so you’ll need the jQuery library). Look at the “inline” example on this page: (click “demo” then “Show hidden modal content” link)

Initially, hide the
OKbutton and use asetTimeout()to then show it after 10 seconds.
