How to prompt the user for a question and answer?

The following example will prompt the user with a question:

  <html>
    <head>
      <script language="JavaScript">
        function displayPrompt() {
          var value= prompt('Please type in your name:', 'noname');
          alert(value);
        }
      </script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <input type="button" onclick="displayPrompt();" value="Click Me!"/>
    </body>
  </html>

The first argument of the prompt function is the question you want to ask, the second argument is the default awnser.
