JS prompt box size

[viivo]

I'm in class right now trying to finish my homework and I'm having some trouble. It's some busywork about creating a quiz using prompts then alerts with what the user typed in then the correct answer. However on the second prompt the question is too long and goes beyond the prompt box.

I tried searching but couldn't find a simple guide or sample of how to resize a prompt box.

This is what I have so far:


Anything simple that I could add to that to alter the size of the second prompt?

edit: man, attaching code here is really difficult. What happened to the

 tags that kept the indentions?

The code tags don't work, and never have. Fortunately the board is moving to VBulletin fairly soon, and that has working code tags.

I don't believe you can resize the alert box, but if you insert new line characters to break the text it should size vertically to accomodate it.

Yep, newlines work. You can paste this into your browser's address bar to see:

javascript:alert("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Hello! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n")

OT: Mark, how soon is fairly soon? Do you know something I don't?

Well, I've heard some rumblings in the staff lounge, but I can't really be more specific. I have some hope, let's leave it at that.

I wrote a simple function to replace alerts and prompts and instead use jqueryUI's dialog box. It's cleaner, easier to work with and looks a lot nicer. Take you about 5 or 10 minutes to setup.
