hello i have a question,
well i used this script for my website so that when people enter my site before anything loads there is a box that shows up saying “please type in your name” (Script Prompt) so that after they type in there name it shows up on my webpages kinda neat…..
but when i use my macintosh computer i go to my website and i get the (Script Prompt) box but there is no lettering, the “please type in your name” text does not show up, it only has an area for you to write something, with out any text telling you what to do people will hit cancle……
the script works excellent in windows
only an empty script prompt box displays using mac
is there anyway i get the “please type in your name” text to show up on windows and mac?????
the script i used is below
any suggestions will be appreciated:
thanks
