alert box and a confirmation box

hi,

What is the difference between an alert box and a confirmation box?

An alert box displays only one button which is the "OK" button whereas the Confirm box
displays two buttons namely "OK" and "Cancel".

basically, a alert box is used to pop up some message or result to the user.

confirmation box is used when u want to know some information from the user. it has two buttons ok(=true) cancel(=false). accordingly, on the user's reply, you can execute different sets of statements.
