Here is an example of a prompt return value used in an if.

<html>
<head>
<title>City Times</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function CityTimes() {
var s = prompt("Please Input Your City Below","Paris") ;

var paras = document.getElementsByTagName("p");
for (var i = 0; i < paras.length; i++) {
if (paras[i].innerHTML == s) {
paras[i].style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
} else {
paras[i].style.backgroundColor = "";
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
City Times
New York
Paris
Moscow
Beijing
Tokyo
Sydney
<input type="button" value="Click here to input a city" name="cmdTimes" onclick="CityTimes();" />
</body>
</html>
