Always good to have the lastest java. Your code looks ok.

JavaScript doesn't depend on the Java Runtime Environment don't worry about it. The problem is that you didn't put brackets around your function. function disp_prompt(){var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter")if (name!=null && name!=""){document.write("Hello " + name + "! How are you today?")}}
