CodeLifter.com - JavaScript Ask Visitor For Name Script

Functions:  A very simple paste-it-in script that asks the
            vistor for his or her name when entering your
            page, then prints a "Hello" welcome message
            anywhere you wish in the body of the page.
            If the visitor does not type in a message,
            a default message shows, instead. Very easy
            install for JavaScript newcomers.

Browsers:   NS3-6, IE4-6

INSTRUCTIONS:

Paste the following <script> ... </script> block into the
<body> (notice we said the body, *not* the <head>) of
your page, exactly where you would like the message to
appear.

var whatName=prompt("Please type in your name:","");
function doName(theName){
  if ((whatName != "")&&(whatName !=null)){
    // you can modify this as needed
    // this is the message if a name is typed in 
    document.writeln("Hello "+whatName+"!")
  }else{
    // you can modify this as needed
    // this is the message if a name is *not* typed in
    document.writeln("Hello!")
  }
}

doName(whatName);

</script>

Design Notes:

When you use an in-the-body script like this, you will 
usually want to format the text it prints into the page.

This is simple enough to do -- just surround the the
<script> ... </script> block with font tags, like this:

Change the face, size, and color to match your design.

You may not, of course, want to use the "Hello Name!"
message we show.  See the two commented lines in the script
above for where you can change the message.
