Here are your possibilities:


Scripting is limited to Netscapwe 3+ Win 95/98/NT and Power Mac

                        MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT

                  with Java and Scripting Enabled.


You can input and display in Flash using the user's Keyboard with

Version 4 browsers.

Create a mouse activated Keyboard in Flash that will accept and display

a name as input by the user by clicking on Keycap buttons in Flash. This

could be made available as an option (automatic if Version 3) to user

keyboard.


Or you could Enter name in an input box in HTML.


The score can be output using JavaScript assuming Browser as above to a

Best of List. Browsers not meeting above Scipting requirements could

still play the game but would not be entered into the Best of List. You

could put up a message similar to 'The browser only allow you to play in

Practice Mode, so your score cannot be entered in the High Scorers

List'.
