Javascript Alert pop up not working in windows phone 7 for phonegap

[viji]

I have the following code which is not working on my emulator

// once the device ready event fires, you can safely do your thing! -
jm
function onDeviceReady()
{
document.getElementById("welcomeMsg").innerHTML += "PhoneGap is
ready! version=" + window.device.phonegap;

alert('hi');
}

Since phonegap uses lot of JavaScript for functioning, I wonder why
this alert is not popping up.
The alert does not even pop up outside onDeviceReady()

Any pointers to solve this would be great.
Thanks in advance.

WP7 IE9 WebBrowser component does not support alert.
Use navigator.notification.alert("Hi");

Or, if you must :

window.alert = navigator.notification.alert;

Note that the PhoneGap alert api has additional params as defined here:

l#notification.alert

Cheers,

Hi Jesse,

This functionality doesn't seem to be available in the latest WP7 visual studio template, the navigator object does not have a notification property, see this post for additional details; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18042909/phonegap-build-navigator-notification-alert-not-working-in-wp7-emulator/18731585#18731585

Please let me know if I can raise this somewhere more appropriate, otherwise I will dig deeper when I have some more time :)

Thanks.
