prompt not working

I'm just starting out with javascript and the following is not working


as it should.  The expected prompt dialog box never appears.



<head>


<script language="JavaScript"><!--


var name;


name=prompt("Please enter your name.","");


document.write("My name is: ", name);


// --></script>


</head>


<body>


<p>Did it work out ok?


</body>


</html>



I've tried replacing


<script language="JavaScript">


with


<script type="text/javascript">


but this makes no difference in the results, which are as follows:



My name is: 



Did it work out ok? 



What am I doing wrong?



Joe
