hi looking for some assistance where can I find the option to change the word “alert” that appears when I opt to have a pop up message to something that I want, I have been unable to find any previous info

[DaveClark]

use phoneui.alert(), instead of alert()

if you do this in a web app, it will be the same as the normal alert, it will show the alert header. but if you do this in a native app, then the title will say whatever you want and the message will also say whatever you want

function test()
{
var message = “this is the message you want to say”
var title = “this is the title that you want”;
phoneui.alert(message, ”,title,”);

}

Dave, thanks, I will try it out

Dave, I went in to phoneui but was unable to locate the text that you provided, can you supply anymore info

[DaveClark]

phoneui.alert() is cordova or phonegap, you do need to do anything, as it is the basis of mobione. just copy and paste the funtion “test()” and go to it from an “on click event” pick run javescript and enter test(). build as an ios app and the alert title and message will be whatever you enter for the variables you use in test(). you do not even need to declare anthing as mobione knoews what that means. good luck

here is a link to a working app:

I forgot that apps need to be provisioned for each device, so forget the link. but , phoneui.alert() does work as intended in place of alert()

good luck

Dave thanks for both posts, I had already carried out the actions on the first one by entering the JavaScript but nothing happened

sorry to be a pest but still struggling with this, I did what Dave said but still not working any ideas?
