.<, I get the feeling he wants to know how to put HTML in alert boxes. I don't think you can put HTML in alert boxes, but their are alternatives. I suggest just using a library.

Look up the browse() and atom/Topic() procs, or just use input()

You're not actually sending that HTML to the client via browse() yet, nor do you have it inside a <form> tag that will submit it for you. My suggestion would be to take a look at the browse() and client/Topic() procs in the reference, and lookup on the Web how to handle forms in HTML. Also, there's this article which will explain how to use HTML and forms, links, etc. in BYOND.

Once you've read all that, just make sure your form tag has action="byond://" and method="get". Also, you will of course need a hidden field that includes a command or something so client/Topic() knows what you're trying to do.
