Welcome to WebmasterWorld! [WebmasterWorld.com]

Well, there is a missing ' in your code ;)
Also, a few important pieces of code were omitted. See my additions in red.

<script type="text/javascript">
var userInput;
var userNumber;
var upperLimit = 20;
userInput = window.prompt('Please enter a number in the range 1 to ' + upperLimit,'');
userNumber = parseFloat(userInput);
while ((userNumber <= 1) ¦¦ (userNumber >= upperLimit))
{
userInput = window.prompt('Please re-enter - number should be in range 1 to ' + upperLimit, '');
userNumber = parseFloat(userInput);
}
document.write('<br>'+'Your chosen number was ' + userNumber);
</script>

Thank you DrDoc, I have tried putting it into HTML so that I can run but it's still not running, something is wrong somewhere and I am yet to figure it out. Thanks anyway for correcting it:)

[java_junkie]

try to run it and see if it's functioning

[DrDoc]

You need to replace the ¦¦ (which get turned into broken pipes on the forum) into actual vertical pipes. Then it'll work.
