I have the following statement:

alert("Testing 123\n\n Testing 231");

I wanted to add a '< hr >'-liked tag between both \n\n. Is there any method to make a line in between?

You cannot add HTML code into an alert box, unfortunately.

However, you could attempt to simulate one if you really want a horizontal line in there; something like this would do the trick:

alert("Testing 123\n________________________\n Testing 231");

I wouldn't really recommend this though because getting the _____ across the entire alert box wouldn't be practical to do, since the width of an alert box is relative to the particular browser, so there isn't really any uniformity.

  • He's not asking to add html code, he's asking to have a similar effect as a
    tag with other means.     – Bimde Nov 26 '15 at 04:19
  • thank you for this and i do understand the width of an alert box is relatively linked to the browser,that's why i'm looking for another way to do it – Stevey Nov 26 '15 at 04:27

No, you cannot add html tags in the browser alert function.

BUT you can do this IF you are using jQuery UI.

$("<div>Testing 123<br/><hr/><br/>Testing 231</div>").dialog();
