  I guess you could use a javascript prompt()...
  
  var $name=prompt("Please enter your name","John Smith");
  document.write("Hello " + $name);

  Hi dasspunk,
  
  why to use javascript prompt(),Sahi has it own API _prompt to perform such functionalities.you can use the following script to get popup for username and password and use it as variables into script.
  

  var $a=_prompt("Enter the username");
  var $b=_prompt("Enter the password");
  _alert("The username is"+$a);
  _alert("The password is"+$b);
  

  
  This might help you.
  
  Regards
  Theeran.

  Here's what I came up with that works pretty well so far
  

  $usernamePhrase="Enter a username";
  $passwordPhrase="Enter a password";
  <browser>
  function promptForUserInput($phrase){
      promptValue = _prompt($phrase);
  }
  </browser>
  function getUserInput($phrase){
      var $value = null; 
      _call(promptForUserInput($phrase));
      _set($value, promptValue);
      return $value;
  }
  var $username = getUserInput($usernamePhrase);
  var $password = getUserInput($passwordPhrase);

  One question left though: how can I change the default text that appears in the prompt textbox? It shows "undefined" in the text box and _prompt($phrase, "text"); doesn't do it
