2,092 Pointsalert and document.write functions are not working.
I have saved the file and I have checked with the code that has been typed by the instructor, but still, document.write() is not printing on page.

alert("hello");
document.write("hello");

4,051 PointsHave you linked the js. file to the index.html file? It's tough to help you without seeing the code.

2,092 PointsYes. I have. I have rechecked several times with the instructor's code, but still I can't get it to print on my page.

5,615 PointsI'm having the same issue.
var visitorName = prompt('What is your NAME?');
var message = "Hello " + visitorName + "! Welcome to Treehouse.";
message += " Eat a butt, dirtbag.";
document.write(message);
I'm just not seeing anything populate to the page.

2,092 PointsI have used single quotes. My code is exactly what the instructor had typed. He got the message printed on the page, but it didn't work for me.
