JavaScript prmpt Window wouldn't hold on IE, Window 7

This follow code contain a javascript prompt example. It workd on local machine, but when it is
uploaded to a website, the Promt window does not display. The IE browser shows on the message bar "this site contains a script and will take data would you allow it  .. ". When I click temperal allow the script prompt, still the prompt window didn't show up. In fact the script is already passed that point, show the next line with the data (name = null).  It is at this site:
