There are no plugins like that because you can't do that in JavaScript. You can't block execution of JavaScript code until some event (such as closing your lightbox-style confirmation) occurs.
The best you can do is to call another function when the event happens. This is why every asynchronous JavaScript API uses callback functions. I haven't looked at any of the plugins you're talking about, but I'm sure they all work that way. (Or perhaps they fire a custom event, but that's really the same thing as calling a callback function.) So instead of code like your example: var value = prompt( 'enter value' ); alert( value ); You'd expect to use a pattern like this: prompt( 'enter value', function( value ) { alert( value ); }); -Mike > From: pantagruel > > Hi, > > I've seen a number of jquery prompt replacements that allow > you to have a customizable prompt of some sort but none that > allow you to actually use it the way a prompt is normally > used - that would say var x = prompt("please enter your > value"); alert(x); > > Is there anything like that? > > If not - I have a situation like this where I have functions > that take a function as a parameter - for example: > > newProc(Command('info')); > > Command returns a value based on, in some cases at least, the > value a user inputs in response to a prompt. > > Does anyone have an example of how you would do that using > any of the prompt replacing libraries? >
