You could simply do something like window.prompt("Please enter your age); or window.confirm("Click ok if you are over 21");
If you include this script in the head of your HTML it will execute before the rest of the page loads.

13,322 PointsIf you want your javascript to load first you just need to include your script inside the head for ex: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Your Page</title> <script src="myscript.js"></script> </head> <body> </body> </html
Then inside your "myscript.js"
You can do two commands.
//First Ex: prompt("Are your 21 Years Old Or Not");
//Second Ex: alert(""Are your 21 Years Old Or Not");
//Third Ex: window.confirm("Click Ok if you are over 21");
Hope this helps.
