function get_info()
{
First name=prompt("Enter the first name:","")
Last Name=prompt("Enter the last name:","")
DOB=prompt("Enter the data of birth:","")
Salary=prompt("Enter the salary:","")
disp_info()

(...)
<script type="Text/java script".JavaScript's mime type is text/javascript, not Text/java script. Your script tag doesn't end with >
var First Name
var Last Name
Variable names must not contain spaces. Use FirstName or First_Name.
First name=prompt("Enter the first name:","")Case is important: FirstName and Firstname are two different variables.

Nothing in your code is creating your custom object.

thanks for your interest, i'm still not understanding the reference to the custom object? learning on my own is not as easy as i thought, it's been difficult putting together simple tasks, but i need to view it more to understand it from the text.. thanks

You create a custom object using a function by that name and then attach properties and methods to it. There are several different ways to attach methods but properties are usually created using this.propertyname. For example:

function myCustomObject() {
this.propertyOne = 'something';
this.propertyTwo = 9;
}

var myObj = myCustomObject();
alert(myObj.propertyOne);
