Get text from leave site alert using JavaScript?

Question

Is there any way to get the text from an alert in JavaScript?

Below I have attached the screenshot of an alert.

Actually I am trying to automate a website using selenium and java and selenium isn't able to handle such alert.

I wonder whether the JavaScript has solution to such alerts.

I am not aware of JavaScript syntax and code styling so posting only a question. Please excuse me for this.

driver.switchTo.alert().getText()

only works for if it is a JS alert,if it is browser alert then it doesn't work

You should try this, with Selenium:

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.getText();

The only way I know to do this within javascript is using the confirm popup. It has generic 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons which I don't believe can be edited and is formatted according to the users web browser. To use the confirm method you write:

if (confirm("Do you really want to leave here?"){
   //do whatever
}
