Alert does not generate dialog box only a blank screen on chrome.

Choose "file > save" when in "scripts.js" and then preview and reload the page again. It will work now.

Hmm...should work. Maybe post your code just in case something is missing. Might try refreshing Chrome and trying the preview again. You can also test the same thing by opening the browser inspector in Chrome and entering alert("what ever string you want here"); in the console.

Also, jsfiddle.net is useful for doing some JS testing. Hope that helps.

The code is just

alert("Hello from TreeHouse");

I used jsfiddle.net and it seems to be working for now. Thanks.

Same issue here ... Typing it the console works tho.

Same issue, I have tried the above to no avail.

Same issue for me here on google Chrome. It showed the alert the very first time I typed

alert("Hello from Treehouse!");

and then saved,

but once I added the following code,

document.write(<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basics</h1>);

alert("Thanks for visiting!");

it's not worked since, even when I commented out the last two lines like this.

alert("Hello from Treehouse!");

//document.write(<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basics</h1>);
//               
//alert("Thanks for visiting!");

I've searched Google for answers and have tried the following solutions as well,

1. Close offending tab and re-open
2. Close and Restart browser
3. Close browser and restart computer

Anyone had any luck solving this? Regards,

Mark

Same issue here, My solution was to work in my text editor rather than the workspace and launch index.html in the browser :) It works like a charm. make sure to create the index.html, scripts.js and the folder with main.css :)
