Hi.

I have an alert box prompting users at form opening.

It's a question with 2 buttons: YES and NO.

YES is the default button, hit by using the enter key, but I need the NO button to be the default one.

Is it possible?

I cannot find anything related in the JS Reference.

Correct answer George_Johnson

It would be possible if you create a custom dialog.

Thank you George for pointing me in the right direction, a custom dialog box is my salvation. Thom helps me once again.

And guess what?…

In custom dialog boxes, when using an OK_Cancel button set… Cancel is the default one!

Bug or feature?

In any case it's good for me.

JR,

I'm glad it's working for you. Whenever you create a custom dialog, be sure to test it out on both a Mac and Windows if you can, and even different versions of Acrobat/Reader. They can appear differently on different systems, but this usually isn't a big problem with such simple dialogs.

Or rephrase the question.
