repl.it which uses an iframe and it might be good to showcase prompt

• TheRealPomax 5y ago
  It'd hardly be even minor effort for the repl.it folks to just include a file in their sandbox loader that gives folks a normal, modern modal when some JS contains prompt() or confirm(). Remember: it's not about whether it's useful, it's about whether there isn't a better way to do it, because it's useful. In this case: yeah, absolute. There are way better ways.

    prompt & confirm are native, and so automatically and correctly work with all your accessibility software. Most "modern" modals struggle to correctly inform a screenreader, let alone all the other accessibility tools. So yes, I would say that 'confirm' is a far better way of doing it.

  I'm building https://starboard.gg https://starboard.gg, it has the same issue. The iframe is important for sandboxing user code, and alert is often used in tutorials (despite being bad practice, it's intuitive for beginners).
