You may run into problems with the browser supporting them. For one thing it will not be the result of a user action. If it isn't an acceptable experience, perhaps a dynamic inline form in the "output"?

A full HTML popup window shouldn't be necessary:

    javascript:alert("hello, " + prompt("what is your name?"))
