User Alerts
One of the easiest things you can do with Javascript is to put some information in an alert box which displays before a page loads.
Click >>here<< for a demo.
Here's the code for the demo:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
alert("By accessing this page, you agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. See the boss for more info before he sees you.")
</SCRIPT>
<TITLE>Success!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Easy, no? This script could go anywhere.
In the <HEAD> tags above, it runs before the <BODY> of the page can load.At the end of a page, it would display only after elements above it in the <BODY> loaded.
Note 1: Alert boxes are noisy and disruptive, so use them sparingly. They are the car horns of the HTML world.
Note 2: You can't format Alert-box information. You can't use HTML tags, and the Alert boxes themselves differ widely from browser to browser and platform to platform.
Note 3: You also can't change the browser name and Javascript identifiers in the Alert box. This is to prevent scripts from spoofing real system events like logons.
