I'm using Build M16 with talkback on Win2000 and Win98 Second Edition:
The window.prompt() method does not return null if I press the Cancel button.
It returns a zero-length string instead.
This happens with Netscape 6 too (it's mozilla m14).
Netscape 4.7 and Internet Explorer 5 (but Even Netscape 3) do return null.
You can try by executing alert(prompt("Hi?")).
On Client-Side JavaScript 1.3 Reference taken from developer.netscape.com does
not specify what should prompt() method return, but null looks more rational.
DOM issue, not JavaScript engine - reassigning

This was fixed some time ago, probably post M16. The fix was done by danm, see
bug 12021. Duping...
