Hi, I am using Windows 7 OS and FF version is Firefox ESR 38.2.0. in one of my application i need to display huge text (300 characters) on Javascript popup alert box(screenshot attached), as this text is huge there is a horizontal scroll appearing which doesn't looks good. where as in IE11 or Google Chrome complete text is shown on Javascript alert window.

What is the alternative for me to show complete text on alert window without scrolls.

I'm not aware to set a width to the modal JavaScript alert window. It seems to adjust its width automatically or wrap content is possible.

What kind of text are you trying to show in this alert?
