I am trying to create a script that allows a prompt to pop up and ask a question refering to shapes and it gives an option to choose through the number 1-5 and i am trying to use the switch statement in order to ask 1 or 2 questions about the length, width or height depending on which one they choose so that those variables can be thrown into an equation so it can figure out the area or volume etc of a shape. I am having trouble with the switch statement. Can someone help me out on this?

does it pop up a page or popup box?

There are three types of js popup boxes.
1. alert
2. confirm
3. prompt

Please post any code you have written.

prompt

the first popup should look something like this i made.

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<div style="text-align:center">');
document.write('<h1>');
document.write("Geometry Calculator");

var figure = "Please Select a figure from the following list (enter a number):";
var figure = figure + "<br /> \n (1) cone \n (2) cube \n (3) cylinder \n (4) prism \n (5) pyrimid";
var figure = parseFloat(prompt(figure, "1"));

</script>

---------
now how to i make certain popups say for example

(1) cone ask for 2 popup windows asking
1. what is the height
2. what is the radius

i am trying to use something to this effect.

switch (figure){
case "1":
function computeCone(radius, height)
{var radius = prompt("Please enter the radius of the base (in inches):", "5");
var height = prompt("Please enter the height (in inches):", "8"); }
break;
case "2":
function computeCube(length)
{var length = prompt("Please enter the length of a base edge (in inches):", "3");}
break;
case "3":
function computeCylinder(radius, height)
{var radius = prompt("Please enter the radius of the base (in inches):", "5");
var height = prompt("Please enter the height (in inches):", "8");}
break;
case "4":
function computePrism(length, height)
{var length = prompt("Please enter the length of a base edge (in inches):", "3");
var height = prompt("Please enter the height (in inches):", "8");}
break;
case "5":
function computePyrimid(length, height)
{var length = prompt("Please enter the length of a base edge (in inches):", "3");
var height = prompt("Please enter the height (in inches):", "8");}
break;

}
