PROMPT button

How to use cancel and ok buttons of prompt inorder to trigger some event in response to them?

You shouldn't really be using prompt at all as it can have more than two options show up as it is intended for use as a debugging tool.

I was directing that at everyone but since you mention it I specifically disagree with letting any intermediate and beginner JavaScript programmers know that prompt() even exists because it creates bad habits and they really ought to be using a simple form in their page to collect the information (which is no harder to code and a lot more useful for them to know).

Anywhere that beginners are using prompt() they should be using <form>

prompt was only easier back when document.write was used instead of innerHTML and so you couldn't actually display anything in the actual web page.

One day you will wake up and discover that the 20th Century is over. Until that day comes - perhaps in a few hundred year's time - I am sure that we can quite happily continue to disagree.

And still got it, it seems. Is that why you behave like a bear with a sore head? Always in a bad mood which causes you to treat other people badly and complain a lot?
