How do I have a Javascript confirm() box with "Yes" or "No" instead of the default "Ok" or "Cancel" ?

    You cant do this out of the box. You'd have to make your own dialog. – TJHeuvel Aug 04 '11 at 07:37

  • I made my own confirm dialog because i dont like the standard one. https://github.com/stein189/YesNoDialog its really simpel to use and you can adjust it as you wish – Szenis May 16 '15 at 20:05

The javascript confirm dialog cannot be customized.

If you require dialog customization I would suggest looking at JQuery UI - Dialog

You cannot do it with standard javascript.

You have this workaround for IE only (source):

<script language=javascript>

/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_win32 && @_jscript_version>=5)

function window.confirm(str)
{
    execScript('n = msgbox("'+str+'","4132")', "vbscript");
    return(n == 6);
}

@end @*/
var r = confirm("Can you do it?");
alert(r);
</script>

Or, you can use custom dialog from jquery ui

To put it simply i think you can't. There are a lot of answers about that on stack overflow, for example this one : custom choices in javascript confirm dialog that states it. If you want to do it, you have to use your own dialogs like those of jquery ui

Today, you can do it simply with javascript. There's is a simple js library called notiejs that has a confirm option.

With a simple line 

notie.confirm('Title text', 'Yes button text', 'No button text', yes_callback)

you can have a custom confirm box. (Maybe the style or the interaction won't fit your use case but I'm just pointing out that it is possible).
