Hello ALL,

I am using this javscript library for pop up messages in my project
http://fabien-d.github.io/alertify.js/[^]


The issue i am having is that i am unable to display a message contained in a div in an alert pop up box.

<div id ="mydiv"> Display this message in an alert box</div>
<button > show message </button>

<script type="text/javascript">

            function message() {
                alertify.alert(document.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML);
            }


        </script>

When the page loads .. the message is displayed on the page instead of in a pop up box and when i click to display the alert pop up , there is nothing in it.

What could i be doing wrong??
