[Sugar-devel] JavaScript on OLPC

[Mike Dawson]

Hi,

Actually with the alert function it will try and create a popup -
however this is generally pretty slow as it tries to create a new
window.  It's better to use DHTML or a library (like JQueryUI) to show
the alert.

If you want the application to work even for those who have an older
version of browse / no tabs etc. then you need to use frames / iframe.

Regards,

-Mike
