An alternative approach from Chris Ruck
that includes data checking

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

function showname()
{
name = prompt("Enter Your Name","");
while (name == "" || name == "null")
{
alert("YOU MUST ENTER A NAME");
name = prompt("Enter Your Name","");
}
return name;
}
</script>

:
:
:

<body bgcolor="gray">
<h1>Welcome to The Computer Purchase Helper</h1>
<p>

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write(showname())
</script>

</body></html>


An Alternative from Sean Dulle
also including data checking

:
:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
reader = prompt("Please enter your name","");
if (!reader) {
reader = "Guest";
}
document.write("Welcome: <font class='guest'>" + reader + "</font>");
-->
</script>
