Input prompt

Is there a way to limit the amount of text a user may type into an input
dialog box (like window.prompt("Enter a 10 character value"))?

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pword="";
var msg="Please enter a 10 character value";
var expletive=", dammit!";
while(pword.length!=10){
pword=prompt(msg);
msg+=expletive;
expletive="";
}
document.write("Thank you for entering \""+pword+"\"");
</script>
</body>
</html>
