I had Porter create a visually similar alert not too long ago, but I really like Steve’s custom alert because it overrides the window.alert method. It may not be perfect, but it’s a great solution in an environment like the one where I work — where content editors and software engineers that don’t know better try to program their own alerts. Heheheh… I’ll stop you now, my pretty!
