no need to say stuff like that. just because some people know more than others

I'm assuming you mean javascript, aka website stuff...

as far as I know, the alert box can only have the one button. you can have a 
prompt where they enter text, but that probably wouldn't help. you'd have to 
have a group of links (or a form with three buttons, that would work probably 
closer to what you wanted) to do that. if you really want it to pop up, you 
could always have the onload use a javascript function that opens a new 
window with those three links (or buttons or whatever else you might want), 
and you don't even have to have another page to do it, you can write the HTML 
for that pop-up in the code of the main page

if you do this, though, also have a way of doing stuff on the page itself. 
some browsers will kill the pop-ups, others can't load pop-ups (links, lynx 
and webgets are probably the main ones) though I doubt it's a bit issue for 
you, and some people have javascript disabled. it's always good to have plain 
HTML to fall back on, because unless you're writing non-standard HTML (and 
no-one wants to do that, right? 8^) you'll never cut off anyone.

on that same point, if you use graphics instead of text links or buttons, have 
it so there's still something to click for those who don't automatically load 
images

how to actually do the javascript to pop up another window is another issue 
though, and it's outside of my skill level. there's javascript examples 
(javascript.internet.com was great back many years when I looked at 
javascript, if I recall right) that do this though, so it shouldn't be hard 
to find something and work it into exactly what you want
