I think you just do 'var value = prompt("Give Me a Value:", "Value");'
Also, it is generally more portable to give any element that you wish to
access an id attribute in HTML and use the
document.getElementById('myid') method. This is the preferred method
(and infact libraries like prototype will give you even nicer functions
like $('myid') to do this).
PS this is is not yet touching on DOM methods ;)
