rated 0 times [ 82] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 9269 / 10 Years ago, tue, december 23, 2014, 12:00:00

I want to know which Dom event is fired when alert message is called. I want to call start_tracking method when alert message is called. I am able to call methods on page resize but how can i know which method is called when the alert message is fired.

win.addEventListener(click, function(event) {

      start_tracking ();

});

Click event is working when i am clicking anywhere on the page but when i click the alert message content then it does not fire the click listener. Nothing seems to be fired on the alert() function.

It is not possible to capture any alert() function events. I don't know why you would want to do that, but I would create another function instead called warn().

function warn(warning) {



  alert(warning);

  capturedAlert();



}



function capturedAlert() {



  alert('An alert was called.');



}

<button onclick=warn('This is a warning!')>Warn!</button>

This way, every time warn() is called, you can alert() the user, AND call another function.
