I am writing the same line of code.
I have deleted all my history, I have tried on different browsers for the last 45 minutes. This is so annoying!! it is not working at all !!!
alert("Hello from treehouse"); document.write(<h1>Welcome to Javascript basics</h1>);

14,050 PointsHi Raphael, I don't see anything wrong with the first line of code. However, the second is missing Quotation Marks like so:
alert("Hello from treehouse");
document.write("Welcome to Javascript basics");
I hope this helped.

Doesn't work for me either out of workspace, but same code works fine out of my own local set up. I think there is a bug with workspace where JS isn't initializing, console shows no errors when i inspect from chrome

Courses Plus Student 560 PointsFor me the problem was simply that I did not add the second and closing quotation mark in the alert() statement.
