Shouldn't that be:

   return 'Admiral Stockdale';

? <bg>

More seriously, did you have an actual question?

I assume your unasked question is:
"Why doesn't the script work?"

You are mixing asp with JavaScript.

Rewrite as:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
        <meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
        <script language="javascript">
        <!-- //
        function WhoAmI(){
            return "John Doe";
        }
        // -->
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
            <table>
        <tr>
               <td><script type="text/javascript">
                                                 document.write(WhoAmI());
                                                 </script>
                                        </td>
        </tr>
            </table>
    </body>
</html>

Also note the quotes around John Doe.

Any ways,  I have used your code but it still won't print John Doe

Hmmmmm, "works here."  How are you testing it?

All I did was pop open FrontPage, paste the code below into "new_page_1.htm" and hit
the Preview tab.  Worked fine.

It works fine on the server but won't run on local machine.

Okay, "dumb question" time, do you have JavaScript disabled for that machine?

If it's working on one machine, it'll work on any machine that JavaScript works on.
Especially if you're testing in the same browser.

Try it in FireFox.
IE will block JavaScript running from a file on your PC.  It will run from a
server.

To bring the script up to date,
Change
<script language="javascript">
to
<script type="text\javascript">

and change
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

(if you use a !doctype, use a one that is complete)
