S2JS - Asking, Saying and Manipulating Text : Asking and Saying in Javascript2

In Scratch, we use Ask and Say.

In Javascript, we use prompt and alert.

In Scratch, "Ask" always puts the answer in an automatic variable called "answer".

In Javascript, you put the answer in whatever variable you like.

In Scratch, you can't control the placement or appearance of these dialogs, and likewise neither can we in Javascript.

(Actually, because Javascript is so powerful, there is a way to precisely control the look and feel of dialogs, but for the moment we'll stick to the simple method)

<HTML> <body> <canvas id=myCanvas height=200 width=200 style="background:url('/img/tut/clickme.png');"> </canvas> <script> myCanvas.onclick = function () { var name = prompt("What's your name ?"); var food = prompt("And what's your favourite food ?"); alert("Well, hello " + name + ", let's eat some " + food); } </script> </body> </html>
