Position MsgBox in VBSCRIPT

[Dwayne Brown]

This newsgroup has been so helpful, I'll try again.

Is there a way to make a MsgBox appear exactly where you want it to on the
screen? (In an ASP)

I could use hooks in VB6, but they won't work in VBS.

Have you tried looking up "CSS Positioning" in MSDN website. That should
give you some leads.

A MsbBox isn't an HTML element - it's a essentially Windows dialog box.

It *can* be positioned (see Jim Warrington's recent "Ann: Sub-Classing in
wsh? how inappropriate, HOW OUTRAGEOUS!!!" post in the WSH NG) but requires
subclassing. Jim's post point to his latest creation that actually let's
script clients do subclassing (that boy's got **way** too much time on his
hands ;-)... Of course this is way outside tyhe sandbox so forget IE hosted
script.

hi Dwayne,

NO, you can't position a mb from IE, but...

You CAN make up a dhtml-based page that looks almost exactly like a msgbox,
and position it anywhere you want (provided you have a reasonable IE window
object model and doc obj model understanding).

Take a look at the "Ersatz Message Box" page on the following website:
