your question is in the wrong zone. Please ask for it to be moved into the Javascript zone.

try
<script type="text/javascript">

SayMyName(myname){
alert("I believe your name is "+myname);
}

</script>

<input type="button" name="ClickMe" value=" Click Me " onclick="SayMyName('Mike');"/>

This is a little odd, but I think this is what you want it to do:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>11</title>
</head>
<body>

<img src="MyNameIs.jpg"/>
<br />


<script type="text/javascript">

function DoPrompt()
{
	name = prompt("your last name");
	name = name.toUpperCase();
	document.write( "uw naam is " + name );

	number = parseInt (prompt("give a number"));
	document.write("<br /> letter " + number + " is een "  + name.charAt(number-1) ); 
	document.write("<br /> de lengte van je naam is " + name.length + " posities");
	document.write("<br /> vanaf positie " + number + " tot einde, blijft nog: "  + name.substring(number));
}

</script>

<form>
<input type=button onclick="DoPrompt()" value="Click Here">
</form>
</body>


</html>

@CEHJ:

input tags should always be inside a form

Naked input tags do not work across browsers:

or just have a button that doesn't need to be inside a form:

<script type="text/javascript">

       function SayName() {
name = prompt("your last name");
            name = name.toUpperCase();
            document.write( "uw naam is " + name );

            number = parseInt (prompt("give a number"));
            document.write("<br /> letter " + number + " is een " + name.charAt(number-1) );
document.write("<br /> de lengte van je naam is " + name.length + " posities");
            document.write("<br /> vanaf positie " + number + " tot einde, blijft nog: " + name.substring(number));
}
</script>

and in your body:

<button type="button" onclick="SayName();"> go </button>
