Javascript like confirm box

Question

I tried using several jquery message pluggins such as alertify.

But the main thing I noticed is system message boxes halt the background functionality until user responds. Other pluggins don't have this functionality.

Is there a way to get this function to jquery pluggins? May extending native javascript objects? I cannot think a way myself.

Could you give me some idea? How can I stop current procedure until the user clicks a button?

@Teemu: At the top it says it's deprecated, but at the bottom it says it's part of the HTML5 standard... do you know what's going on there? — Felix Kling, Apr 25 '14 at 11:06
@FelixKling I've no idea... It was just few years ago sMD came up also other to browsers than IE. Though it's not the official part of the standard _yet_. — Teemu, Apr 25 '14 at 11:06
It is usable for this case. But why they say it is deprecated? — Dan Jay, Apr 25 '14 at 11:09

jQuery UI has some excellent samples available

You can choose to freeze the background by setting 'modal' to 'true':

$( ".selector" ).dialog({ modal: true });

jQuery will not pause any setInterval(), but you can hook up to events, so you will probably be able to stop them from executing code yourself.

Check out this working fiddle that does just that...

Will it freeze setInterval() function too? – Dan Jay Apr 25 '14 at 11:14
the problem is that I have several setIntervals(), if I clear them, I will be in trouble. How can I pause them when the open event triggered? – Dan Jay Apr 25 '14 at 11:44

In the code that executes after the interval has past, check for a global boolean value which you can set to true/false when handling the dialog. Check this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21277900/javascript-pausing-setinterval – Reinder Wit Apr 25 '14 at 11:47
