How does it work fine, when "<person/>" is just a character string that
doesn't do anything? You must be using some underlying server-side
platform that does something with this, but it isn't HTML and it isn't
Javascript. Besides, you don't even show any form fields for a user to
enter input, so how can it be "input from a user"? All you have is
<a href="javascript:Popup()"><person/></a>
which is a link that executes the function Popup()--if the user can find
it, because it won't show up on the page. That, in turn, is because the
only thing between the opening and closing A tags is a <person/> tag
that the browser won't recognize as HTML and will therefore ignore.

Every time, name will equal "<person/>". First time, every time. Because
that's what you're setting it to.
