Synopsis
prompt(message
,
defaultReply
)
Displays a dialog box with a message, a one-line text entry field,
and two clickable buttons. The message should urge the user to enter
a specific kind of answer. One button indicates a Cancel operation; the other button indicates
the user’s approval of the text entered into the field
(OK or Yes). The text of the buttons is not
scriptable. A click of the Cancel button returns a value of null
; a click
of the OK button returns a string of
whatever is in the text entry field at the time (including the
possibility of an empty string). It is up to your scripts to test for
the type of response (if any) supplied by the user.
Returned Value
When clicking the OK button, a
string of the text entry field; when clicking Cancel, null
.
Parameters
