Famine, Lord of the Bizarre strikes again!

Since the inception of GTP6, when one sends a PM, a pop-up window appears, saying:

"Request Read Receipt for this Message?"

And the two options are "OK" and "Cancel". Now I KNOW that "OK" is yes and "Cancel" is no, but is there any chance of changing it so that it actually reads "Yes" and "No" and doesn't confuse some poor soul who may think that hitting "Cancel" will cancel his PM altogether and so, as a result, has a PM box full of Read Receipts (yes, I know - they don't occupy any physical space, but they make for quite a bit of scrolling... :D)?
 
I don't like that message because it causes GTP not to load. I use IE 6 with SP2 and the built in popup blocker. I hit CTRL to bypass the popup blocker, but when I choose to view the PM and hold CTRL at the same time it doesn't work.

I am sure there is a way to make it say yes and no.
 
As Sage pointed out, I've tried, but I honestly cannot figure out how to change it.

Not trying to offend you Jordan... but I'm sure this is quite simple to fix...

I'll see if I can find the code for you... if not then if you sent me the lines of code then I'm sure I could get you a fix for it.

Briefly Looked into... Would appear that Confirm() is hard coded... to use OK Cancel and have OK as default button...

Still reckon this can be done but will involve creating your own popup... will investigate further...

You could try something like this... but this would involve a lot of work for it...

Not an ideal solution... I was sure that JS allowed you to open dialog boxes... hmmm must be a bit rusty... well I haven't used it for 3 years!!

Code: 
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function promptIt() {
   WinId = window.open('questionpage.html','newwin','width=300,height=300,status');
   if (!WinId.opener) WinId.opener = self;
}
//--></script>
 
Questionpage.html

<center>
<form>
Would you like a read receipt
<br>
<input type="button" value="Yes" onClick="WinId='yes'; self.close()">
<input type="button" value="No" onClick="WindId='no'; self.close()">
</center>

After that you would need to do a timed request on WinId to see if it was "yes" or "no" or something else... if it was something else then no button had been clicked... when it has changed then you have an answer and continue...

Timed requests in JS are a real Pain in the Ass though.

There's no doubt that it can be done, but as you are discovering it's quite a bit more trouble than its worth (IMHO). I can't really be bothered at the moment to launch an investigation to change something so minor.

I definitely concur...

If it was life or death it could be done...

But as it isn't at all... then it can stay as it is... cos it's a right mission!!
