Howdy
For some reason, when i use the Prompt() method, it won't display the text inside
the brackets. e.g.
var x=prompt("Enter your name", "Type Your name Here")
When I run it in Netscape for Mac, it works fine but when I run it in IE for Mac, a
dialog box appears without the "Enter your name" text. The dialog box has
everything else like normal except the message text.
Even if I try the code below, a dialog box appears as normal but no "Hello".
prompt("Hello")
I have tried changing the script language to differnet versions of JavaScript and
changed the document type but to no avail.
It used to work last time I tried about 3 months ago.
Any ideas would be gretly appreciated.

Tony, it works fine in Win98 MSIE 6.0. I just cut and pasted it from your
post. Here's my code:
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
var x=prompt("Enter your name", "Type Your name Here")
x=prompt("Hello")
</script>
</body>
Both prompt boxes come up as expected with whatever they're supposed to have
in them.
