While working on one of my projects I came across a scenario where I needed to convert the DOM object into a String representation to send it as an AJAX request parameter.

The way to do this is as follows:

Suppose you have a form named “Test”.

We first get the DOM object of the current page as follows:

var domObject = document.Test;

//Now lets convert this DOM to String

var domToString = domObject.innerHTML;

Thats it!!! Put an alert and you’ll see the complete DOM in a string representation.

alert(domToString);

Here’s how you display a confirm box using JavaScript.

JavaScript has a function named ‘confirm()‘ which displays the confirm box.

var confirmResult = confirm(“Clicking OK will return true whereas clicking Cancel will return false”);

When you call a JavaScript function containing the above code, a confirm box with two options namely ‘OK’ and ‘CANCEL’ will be displayed. We make use of a variable ‘confirmResult’ to hold the value returned by the ‘confirm()’ function when the user presses ‘OK’ or ‘Cancel’.

A simple example below will make everything clear:

function testingConfirmBox()

{

var confirmBoxReturnValue = confirm(“Click any of the two buttons below and I’ll display an alert telling you the name of the button you clicked ”);

if(confirmBoxReturnValue == true)

{

alert(“You clicked ‘OK’ “);

}

else

{

alert(“You clicked ‘Cancel’ “);

}

}

Note: As far as I know, there is no way of changing the ‘OK’ ‘Cancel’ text to something like ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ unless you hack the browsers source code.

To display text in the status bar of your browser using javascript write the following code inside your javascript function:

window.status = “This will display text in the status bar of your browser!”;

Note: The status bar may not change in firefox. In such a case go to “tools-options” click on “content” tab, click on the “advanced” for “enable javascript” and enable the “change status bar text” option.
