I believe the problem with my code lies within my while loop. Admittedly, I'm rather new to Javascript programming. Does this look okay:

<! DOCTYPE html>
 <head><title>title</title></head>
 <body>
 <script type="text/javascript">   
alert("Hello, stranger. Please note that at this current moment, we do not have a save function. It might be a good idea to record your answers.");
    var preAnswer = 0;
while (var preAnswer = 0) {
var name = prompt("What is your name? Please capitalise it, for the sake of grammar.")
    if (name === "")
{
    alert("What are you playing at? You didn't type anything.");
    var preAnswer = 0;
} else {
    var preAnswer = 1
}
    }
     alert("Nice name, " + name + ", bro.")
     </script>
     </body>
     </html>

I'm sure I've done something wrong, as it isn't functioning.
