Hi Friends,

Again another question that I can't find an answer for. Here or in the SDK.

When a prompt shows up it only goes away after a click on 'ok' or 'cancel'.
Is it possible to quit the prompt with a timeout or something like prompt='false';.

Best regards,
John.

For the "normal" alert(), prompt() etc., I think, this is not possible.
However, if you use the Dialog object to create your message boxes, it should be possible to close (at least modeless) dialog using a timer and Dialog.close()

See http://www.silverjuke.net/sdk/dialog-close.html

I paste this into my skin and it works great.
If you want i can mail it to you. It is 1440X900pxl so maybe it's to big.

I don't know how to thank you. But I know I have more time for my wife now....lol.


Many many many thanks.
Best regards,
John.

You were nearly there, so don't be modest!

Just post it on the forum, or even enter it into the competition. I think your script definitely adds something new, together with all the other interface ideas you wrote about in other posts. Will certainly be something in it for a lot of other skinners or endusers.
