When do you expect them to "reset", and why? There isn't anything here
to reset. You're declaring a bunch of variables, and defining them
explicitly with hard-coded values in the declaration.

The <person/> thing is bizarre. What's that supposed to be?

How does it work fine, when "<person/>" is just a character string that doesn't do anything? You must be using some underlying server-side platform that does something with this, but it isn't HTML and it isn't Javascript. Besides, you don't even show any form fields for a user to enter input, so how can it be "input from a user"? All you have is

<a href="javascript:Popup()"><person/></a>

which is a link that executes the function Popup()--if the user can find it, because it won't show up on the page. That, in turn, is because the only thing between the opening and closing A tags is a <person/> tag that the browser won't recognize as HTML and will therefore ignore.

Every time, name will equal "<person/>". First time, every time. Because that's what you're setting it to.
