Now there's something wrong with the prompt and i just don't know what

Obtaining user input via prompt boxes is completely obsolete and seen as unacceptable these days.

If you insist (is this homework?), here is a script to prompt repeatedly until a name (or sequence of letters) is entered:-

<script type = "text/javascript">

for (var i=1; i<2; i++) {
var ans = prompt ("Enter your name here", "");
if ((ans == null ) || (ans == "") || (/[^a-z\s\-\']/gi.test(ans))) {
alert ("You must enter your name using only letters, space, hyphen and/or apostrophe!! ");
i -- ;
}
}

</script>
