How to make a message box pop up?

On my website I want when someone clicks a hyper link a message box appears instead of going to the page.
so I could have a SECRET page and then when they click it a message box pops up saying "Sorry this page is secret" or something like that.

You can use fancyzoom or image popup methods (using an image file with the text in it). This demo page has an example: Fancy Zoom & Image Popup.
Or you could use rollover methods like in this demo page: Mouse Rollover & Animated Gifs
Still another possibility is the show/hide text method: Show and Hide.

Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop. (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop. Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install. Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any solution?

CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
and manually download/install from there.

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
Jamie

How to make error message as warning message

how to make error message as warning message? ie i get error message hence cannot save the slaes order   i want to make that error message as warning so that i can save the sales order please help.

Hi
If a message is a custom message, then by changing the message type from E(Error) to W (warning)   we can convert the message type into error message. This is done with the help of development guy. A change in the code is needed.
If it is a standard message, then it depends on whether we have teh access to change the message type. If access is there, then it is possible to change the message from Warning to Error. i.e. If we are capturing std SAP message in our code and displaying then we can change it, else if SAP message is displayed directly, we cant change it.
So, to change it, capture the error message from SAP in some Zcode and then convert that message into a custom message of message type E.
The whole change needs ABAP support.
Try with tcode <b>OVA2</b> settings selecting for sales order or in SAPRO--SD-BF-Log of Incompletion Items

Satellite Pro L500 - How can I prevent menu boxes popping up randomly

How can I prevent menu boxes popping up randomly and the cursor failing randomly as well?
It settles down after a while but can occur at any moment.

Different menu boxes attach themselves to the cursor and I end up with multiple menu boxes of various kind and it's really easy to accidently perform one of the functions related to a menu. Once I involuntarily increased the size of all of the desktop icons.

How to make text messages pop up on screen?

Hi...
I used to have an iphone (sorry for swearing), and I used to love how text messages would pop up on the screen when the phone was in 'sleep' mode.
Is there any way I can get my Z2 to do this?
Thanks...

System wide modal message box pop-up from applet

Hi,
I am having an applet which is listening on a soket and has to pop-up a message box with the received data as and when it receives it.
I have used JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() for this.
Now, the requirement is the MsgBox should come up even if the user is working on another console/window. Btw, I am running the applet on windows-XP/2000 with JRE1.4.2. I have used null as the first parameter to the showMessageDialog function above, but its not popping up if I am workin in some other window.
Anybody having ideas on how to do it, please reply.
Thanks
Sujit

Pop up a Frame or JFrame showing the message. You can make it passably modal by having the applet nap while it's visible:
JFrame msg = new JFrame( "Got Data!" );
...// add message
msg.setVisible( true );
// may not pop up instantly:
while ( !msg.isVisible() ) pause( 10 );
while ( msg.isVisible() ) pause( 50 ); // wait for user to close
private static void pause( int millis ) {
try { Thread.sleep( millis ); }
catch ( InterruptedException e ) {}
}

Sometimes the drivers do not give all the true functionality of the instrument. I am assuming this pop up is possible, so if the driver doesn't offer the functionality you might have to go to the instruments full instruction set and find the right commands and make a driver for that command.
For example, the driver for the small display might be 'upgradable' to give the pop up you are looking for.
I saw some other posts ( as far back as 2007) on this instrument, so maybe there is already somthing like this on the board.

Facing a very wierd situation - VBScript message box pop up

Hello Guys,
This is very weird scenario am facing. I have a program to run Launch.vbs which will prompt for Messagebox at end of the script.
I deployed the package to 3 machines (Windows 7) - To Device Collection
Always in one machine only i get the Message Box and
remaining 2 machines am not getting the Message box (the wscript.exe running in task manager hidden and no message)
Tried so many times, but same issue with these 2 machines. (Am sure i have selected proper options in Program --> Properties because in one machine i always get the message box)
Is that any machine policy preventing the message box to display ?? or anyother work around.
or any client settings i need to change (though all machine have same client setting - Default Settings)
Please assist, i need to deploy the package to production.
Thanks,

Sorry not getting you, //NOLOGO - prevents -banner/logo displaying at the execution time.
But my requirement is to get the Messagebox during execution
In my program i run only Launch.vbs earlier i tried with
cscript.exe Launch.vbs
But how same package i deployed to other machines, it not popping up a messagebox, it is running in taskbar no GUI.
I with the command you suggested.
My VBScript Content:
strRoot = oFso.GetParentFolderName(Wscript.ScriptFullName)
EXEcmd = Chr(34) & strRoot & "\setup.exe" & chr(34) & " " & "/configure" & " " & chr(34) & strRoot & "\install32ny.xml" & chr(34)
WSHShell.Run EXEcmd, 0, True
strSuccess_Msg = _
"The installation of Office 365 Pro Plus was successful on your machine." & VbCrLf & VbCrLf & _
"Please save your data, logoff and login to your machine and " & VbCrLf & VbCrLf & _

How to display a Message box

Hi,
i am using oracle forms 10g
i need to dispaly a message box like VB.NET to user that displays messgae
say "hello"
how do i do it....whats the syntax or built in used ??
plz help

Rosario,
If you use the message built-in, isn't the message
displayed on the status line and you get a blank
popup? Correct me if I am wrong.Sayeed ,
If you write one and only one message, you are right it is displayed on the status line , but I wrote
Message
Message
The second message only needs to be:
Message(' ',no_acknowledge);
The second message forces the first to pop up like an alert.
