Prompt

Question: How do I generate a user prompt from JavaScript?

Answer: To generate a user prompt, use the prompt() method:

prompt('Prompt text','Suggested input')

The button above was created using the following code:

<form name=myform>
<input type=button value="Try it now" 
onClick="f=prompt('Enter your name','Name');
alert('Hello '+f+'!')">
</form>
