limitphp Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 When someone logs in, if their username/pass doesn't match or if they are still awaiting verification, I use javascript alerts to notify them. Is that acceptable, in your opinion? I know on places like digg, they shoot up their own custom boxes like a div or something, but I figure, an alert box gets the job done, plus, if they are behind a proxy or something, you don't have to worry about the (x) on the custom box not working....alerts almost always work and they are fast.

limitphp Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 if they are behind a proxy or something, you don't have to worry about the (x) on the custom box not working I'm not sure I follow this. sometimes when I get on sites from behind a proxy, the site doesn't function 100%...which is fine...I don't expect any site to code for that, but sometimes they have those custom boxes that pop up and they have the x on the top right to close it....sometimes, when I click on the x, it doesn't work, something, somewhere doesn't register and the ox doesn't close. What happens if they have JS disabled? my site really will not function properly without javascript.... the ajax, for one wouldn't work, right?
