I recently read that it is a security feature of Javascript that you
*cannot* you cannot change the 
title of alert or confirm dialogs in Javascript.  The argument is that a
malicious programmer can't
trick you with a dialog box that looks like its for a windows program (maybe
I'm groggy or not evil enough, 
but I can't think of what damage you could do this way...)

One good cross-browser solution is to open up a new window the size and
position of a dialog
you'd like to show.  It won't really look exactly like a native dialog box,
but you can control
all of the formatting pretty precisely.

The following link has a short article on how to work with multiple windows
and their parameters that might help.

Hi all,

Is there another way to display a message box other than using the alert()
function as I would like to be able to change the title of the box that
comes up and perhaps even have multiple lines in the message

Thanks

Derek
