Is there any way to dismiss JavaScript alert() programatically OR by pressing any key and not necessarily pressing the ENTER key?

1ALL JavaScript is blocked until the alert continues – Sebastian Speitel Nov 29 '18 at 12:12

No. Alert is synchronous and can only be operated on by the user. – Phiter Nov 29 '18 at 12:12

2You shouldn't use alert on a real application in most cases. Try an alternative like sweet alert – Phiter Nov 29 '18 at 12:13

You may try boot box plugin
var alert = bootbox.alert('Count to 5...');
alert.show();
setTimeout(function() { alert.modal('hide'); }, 5000);<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

I took the liberty to change it to a runnable snippet with CDN links :-) – Peter B Nov 29 '18 at 12:32

Yes, you can use ESC key instead of Enter

I must disagree, it does provide an answer to the question. It provides *direct* answer to the question. Let me quote OP: "Is there any way to dismiss [...] alert() programatically *OR* by pressing any key and not necessarily pressing the ENTER key?". And the answer is - yes, you can dismiss `alert()` by pressing any other key than enter - the key is ESC. And this is what I suggested – Sebastian Kaczmarek Dec 01 '18 at 12:37
