Prompt box question regarding the cancel button? 1

[UncleMortis]

I've made a site and I've included a prompt when the site loads so that someone can put their name in and it will welcome them by name, if they fill it out of course. If they press OK without filling it out, it's fine, but if they press cancel, it returns NULL. How can I avoid it returning null?

You can't avoid it returning null. However you can test the result and handle those instances where it returns null.

eg
[tt]
var strUserName = prompt('Who the hell are you?','');
if((strUserName == null) || (strUserName == '')){
strUserName = "O Great Nameless One";
}
[/tt]
