I am using Chrome and am working through the JavaScript Basics lessons using prompt() and alert().
I unthinkingly clicked a button that asked something like "do you want to prevent messages from this website in future."
Now, none of the alerts and prompts that were working before are showing up.
I have tried quitting Chrome and reloading the page--no joy. I have tried opening it from Safari--no joy.
Anyone know of a way to undo this?
Thanks!
