Is it possible to disable Javascript Alert boxes using Javascript

Expert Level Question

The scenario is thus, I have some javascript which I have been debugging by using alerts.

Is there a way of disabling the alert boxes by putting a javascript command in earlier in the processing or by running an inline function.

Quick and dirty, but it works (tested in IE6):

function alert() {}

This redefines the alert-method to a function that doesn't do anything.

RonPK you're a marvel - I owe you a drink for that one.

Absolutely beautiful solution.

Many thanks
