I see two problems right offhand:

"set usr.icon" will cause a bug because "set" is reserved for certain things within verbs. You can get rid of the set keyword here.
The last line isn't indented far enough.

One thing you may want to consider is changing input() to alert() in this case, since there are only two choices to pick from. Of course I find both kinda clunky and avoid using them, but in the meantime it makes sense to go with a simple 2-button box over a list. Still, this is a style consideration and won't affect how your code works.
