Not sure what to call it

How do you get the message box or whatever it is call to popup? You know like if you are closing a page and the yes/no pops up. what is that called and what would the code be to make one come up?

This is an error code I would like to have it pop for:

re.Pattern = "^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$"
errorArray(2) = re.Test(phone_number)
if errorArray(2) then
errorArray(2) = False
else
errorArray(2) = True
ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "Telephone Number<br>"
end if

That would be a modal dialog box...

Code:

<%
re.Pattern = "^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$"
errorArray(2) = re.Test(phone_number)
if errorArray(2) then
  errorArray(2) = False
else
  errorArray(2) = True
  ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "Telephone Number<br>"
end if
%>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//Simple "Ok" prompt
alert("<%=ErrorMsg%>");

//Confirmation Yes/No Prompt
confirm("<%=ErrorMsg%>");

//Use confirm message in an If statement
if( confirm("<%=ErrorMsg%>") ){
  //Yes was clicked - do something
}
else{
  // No was clicked - do something else
}
//-->
</script>

Ok I used this one here:

alert("<%=ErrorMsg%>");

I works fine but my only problem is that I have four or five errors that can be included at one time. They do not all fit in the message box... how would I code it so that if none of the required fields are entered, up to 4 or 5 they will all show and could be read easily?

Thanks for the code though, it does do the job.

At the end of each message, include a \n. This will put a newline character at the end, and start the next error on the next line.

Code:

<%
  Dim ErrorMsg
  ErrorMsg = "1) This is an error message\n\n"
  ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "2) A second error message\n\n"
  ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "3) A third error message"
%>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
alert(<%=ErrorMsg%>);
//-->
</script>

This will make an error box pop up with the message formatted like:

Code:

 
1) This is an error message

2) A second error message

3) A third error message

Or you could get fancy and make an html error popup. This way you can make nicely designed error pages.

Code:

<%
  Dim ErrorMsg
  ErrorMsg = "1,2,3"
%>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.open("errormsg.asp?ErrorMsgID=<%=ErrorMsg%>", "ErrorMsgWin", "height=300,width=300");
//-->
</script>

ErrorMsg.asp:

Code:

<html><body>
<%
  Dim aErrorMsgs()
  Dim aErrorArray

  ReDim aErrorMsgs(3)
  aErrorMsgs(0) = "This is message 1."
  aErrorMsgs(1) = "This is message 2."
  aErrorMsgs(2) = "This is message 3."

  aErrorArray = Split(Trim(Request.QueryString("ErrorMsgID")), ",")

  Dim x
  For x = 0 To UBound(aErrorArray)
    Response.Write aErrorMsgs(aErrorArray(x)) & "<BR>"
  Next
%>
</body></html>
