Hi, why doesn' this simple script run?

 

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_prompt()
{
var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter");
if (name!=null && name!="")
  {
  var text = document.getElementsById("p_1").innerHTML = "What's up, " + name + "?";
  }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="show_prompt()" value="Show prompt box" />
<p id="p_1">Initial text</p>

</body>
</html>

 

Any help appreciated.
