Referring to "important update" in which html won't appear until after alert box closes

Is there a way to get around this to make the HTML appear while the alert box is still up? Didn't read this "update" until later and was figuring out why my code was acting like this.

That's how the browser works and is not something you can change. But, you don't have to use the "alert" function. You can communicate with the user entirely through the DOM, which will not freeze the script while waiting on a response.
