Yes. By not relying on browser UI (which is actually disabled by default in some browsers) and instead making your own.

All it takes is a simple modal dialog with a form in, and you're all good. The only downside is that it won't be blocking anymore (if you can consider that a downside), so you need to put the rest of the code inside a callback that the prompt calls when it's closed.
