A javascript??

[Google]

I'm guessing this would be a javascript, but can someone write a script for me so that when you enter

the site a box pops up that tells you to type your name and then somewhere on the site it shows the

name. I'm not very skilled at creating javascripts, but I can understand them. I'm guessing you would

have to create a variable the has the value of whatever the person typed in and then you would show

that variable in the document but I do not know how to actually write the script!

Google for "javascript tutorial".  The thing you describe is the first or second exercise in many tutorials I've seen.

Change your search phrase and try again.  Sometimes, you need to experiment with the wording for your searches.

Nope, that's way too long.    Try to limit it to a few words.

Sorry - I meant to say that in any case, once you've gone through a tutorial or two, doing this kind of thing becomes quite easy.

Here's one I found yesterday via Google: http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tutorials/javascript/javascript_prompt_visitor_inputs.php3

Julius, err ... Mr. Poll, the Google search phrase I used was javascript prompt for name.  The link above was the first item found.
