No, browsers only allow single-line input for
prompt().However, with a simple change to the jQuery Alert Dialogs library you could get multi-line input there. Takejquery.alerts.js, look for<input type="text" size="30" id="popup_prompt" />and replace it by<textarea rows="5" cols="30" id="popup_prompt"></textarea>. That should do to have a multi-line input field show up when callingjPrompt().Edit: As Mulletfingers999 points out in a comment, jQuery Alert Dialogs have been deprecated in favor of jQuery UI dialogs. There you can also show a "modal" dialog, that dialog can have arbitrary content however – meaning that a
<textarea>tag is possible if you want multi-line input.
