Because the document is never complete. You cannot veiw source until the document is complete. You need a document.close() statement.

The problem is that you are calling document.write() after the document has closed, and the onLoad event handler fired. This will call an implicit document.open(), and hence clear the source code. If you want the source to be preserved try this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Questionnaire</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!-- HIDE FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS
var info = new Array();
info[0] = prompt("Please enter your name.","Name");
info[1] = prompt("Please enter your street address.","Address");
info[2] = prompt("Please enter your city, state, and zip code.","City, State, ZIP");
info[3] = prompt("Please enter your telephone number.","Telephone");
document.write("<H2>Your personal information is:</H2>");
for(var i=0; i<4; ++i){
document.write(info[i] + "<BR>");
}
// STOP HIDING FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS -->
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You could also consider using the code I originally provided (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24005#post124511). ;)
