Alert Box:
An alert box is often used if you want to make sure information comes through to the user.

When an alert box pops up, the user will have to click "OK" to proceed.

Confirm Box:

A confirm box is often used if you want the user to verify or accept something.

When a confirm box pops up, the user will have to click either "OK" or "Cancel" to proceed.

If the user clicks "OK", the box returns true. If the user clicks "Cancel", the box returns false.

If the user clicks "cancel" then it will not be executed?

Alert() dialog:

The alert() dialog box is used to communicate a message to the user (generally warnings of missed actions). For example, if the email address entered is wrong, you can use the alert() message to warn the user about it. Developers also use alerts() as a quick and dirty way to debug their applications.

// warning
alert("Invalid email address. Please enter again.");
// debugging
alert(currentCounter);



The alert() method creates a new pop-up window (dialog box) which contains the user message and an
OK button. This is a modal window and all execution is stopped until the user clicks the OK button in the pop-up box.

Confirm() dialog:

The confirm dialog box is used to confirm a user’s answer to a question. This method takes only one argument, the question you will ask the user. A question mark will appear in the box with an OK button and a Cancel button. If the user clicks the OK button, true is returned; if he or she clicks the Cancel button, false is returned. This is also a modal dialog - the user must agree before the action is completed. You often see this in shopping cart applications just before placing the order or on file sharing sites just before you delete a file.


if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete your profile photo?") == true) {
alert("Deleting photo...");
}
else {
alert("Glad you decided against deleting the photo!");
}

Alert box is mainly used to communicate a message to the user and displays one ok button and confirm box is opposite to alert box. Confirm box has two buttons such as true or false and ok or cancel. User can choose one button depending on the user’s choice.
