Welcome

Use all lower case! Notice that if you spell male or female incorrectly, the color does not change.

The Script

  <html>
   <head>
  <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
    function askuser()
     {
       answer=prompt("Are you Male or Female?")
       if ( answer == "female")
          {document.bgColor="pink"}
       if(answer == "male")
          {document.bgColor="lightblue"}
      }
  </script>
  </head>
  <body bgcolor="lightyellow">
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
    <form>
      <input type="button" 
	  value="Identify your Sex"  
	  onClick="askuser()">
    </form>
  </body
  </html>

This one was a little tough to get. I hope you were successful. You needed to change out the text in a few places, but the main thing was that you needed to change the outputs from an alert box to the document.bgColor statements to get the effect.
