Could you check my code to verify all looks good?

The code below seems correct to me but on a Mac OS X 10.10.5 in Chrome 51.0.2704.79 the prompts are no longer popping up.

var noun = prompt("Please type in a noun");
var sentence = "<h3>Once upon a time a " + noun;
var verb = prompt("Please type in a verb");
var adjective = prompt("Please type in an adjective");
alert("You're done! Story time.");
sentence += " was running around in the forest looking for fun.";
sentence += " The" noun + " decided to " + verb + " all the way to the end of the forest to find comfort.";
sentence += " The" noun + " found the end of the forest, only to be greeted by friends and family.</h3>";
document.write(sentence);

Ok so as far as the way you are doing every thing its just fine. Only thing you for got to put a couple of + signs in your concatenation. Here is the updated code every thing should work now. Let me know if you have any questions.

var noun = prompt("Please type in a noun"); 
var sentence = "<h3>Once upon a time a " + noun; var verb = prompt("Please type in a verb"); 
var adjective = prompt("Please type in an adjective"); alert("You're done! Story time."); 
sentence += " was running around in the forest looking for fun."; 
sentence += " The" + noun + " decided to " + verb + " all the way to the end of the forest to find comfort.";
sentence += " The" + noun + " found the end of the forest, only to be greeted by friends and family.</h3>"; 
document.write(sentence);

Thank you Alex for the assist. Next time I need to debug a bit more deeper in the syntax.

Rick, thank you for the tip. JSHint.com helped me out tremediously. I'll be adding this website to my toolkit.

Have a good day all!

Cheers!

Just my two cents, Andrew: I've found JSHint.com to be an invaluable resource for times when my JS is not working like it should. Hope that helps in the future.
