First of all, that's a javascript question, not an HTML one.
Second, i doubt if there's anything to adjust about the alert message like you asked for; an alternative would be to open a new window, in effect a real pop-up, which would give full control over size, layout, etc. but that would be more of a challenge.

I think he means an alert which can't be colorized because it's set by the user in their display properties. On the other hand, you could add several &nbsp to make the box larger or add \n at the end of words to make it smaller:

Please\n
enter\n
your\n
email\n
address

Like ronald said, it's probably better to pop open a window or make an image of an alert for total style control. :D

You can make customised alert boxes, but not in JavaScript. You need to use the VBScript MsgBox function.

VBScript works only in internet explorer

true, but even vbscript msgbox cannot be color customized.
