TopBraid comes with the Rhino ECMAScript engine, but this is different
from full JavaScript, as it does not live inside of a web browser. As a
result, JavaScript-specific UI feature such as prompts are not supported.
In order to collect user input, you need to use SPARQLMotion-based SPIN
functions with modules such as sml:SelectInstance or sml:DisplayEditForm.
