There's two ways to do alert windows. You can set up a function in the head
of the document and call it up later. This is especially good for multi-line
alerts as shown below. Notice the function "theAlert" declared in the head of
the document. It is later called up as a javascript link below. The simpler
alert can be used on as stand-alone script. You'll notice the first one just
calls up an alert. The second one calls up the function. Here's what the simpler
one looks like (just click on smiley):
Here's the script:
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a href="javascript:alert('This is the Text')"><img src="imagename.gif"></a>
<p>
<a href="javascript:theAlert()">Link text for an alert window</a>
