javascript's prompt(...) does nothing on my copy of IE8

Greetings,

I just noticed that javascript's prompt(...) function
does nothing on my copy of IE8.
No errors, no dialog, nothing.

Will try reinstalling IE8 since it works on another machine
with IE8 but would any of you have any ideas?

alert(...), confirm(...) and all other javascript work
just fine.
also tried turning off IE's popup blocker and still no prompt.

nevermind.
seems to be a security setting.
reinstalled and had same problem but got a warning that IE
has blocked "scripted windows."
temporarily allowed "scripted windows" but will try to find
where this is set and if it can be set per web site.
