Why 'alert' instead of 'messageBox'?

Not trying to be a snot or anything, just needing the reasoning why...

function SCDropDown(topiclist)

>            {
>                location.href='go.hcn?hcn2~recipe~'+topiclist.options[topiclist.selectedIndex].value;
>            }
>        else {
>                alert('Please select a recipe');
>            }
>        }
