<person/> is input from the user, so it would need to reset every time
the user typed in a new phrase.

that part works fine, but the variable retains that value and i would
like it to terminate the input once the link is returned.

the functionality of the script works flawlessly, just the variable
doesn't reset for new input unless you clear your browser settings.

var name = "<person/>" needs to reset every time i run the code,
without me having to clear my settings.
