In my browser the application executed the two alerts first.

In my browser the application executed the two alerts first. Only after I close the second one it wrote the message on the document body. I think it may occur because of some update on Chrome since this video was made, but since this steps are being used to explain how programming statements execute one after another it can confuse a lot who are a beginner in web applications.

P.S.: I'm referring to this video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-basics/introducing-javascript/your-first-javascript-program-2.

You're right, modern browser behavior is a bit different from when the video was made. Before, the page was rendered while the program was running, but now most browsers do not render the page until the program ends.

It wouldn't hurt to submit this as a bug to Support, but I suspect they will say this is already in the queue.
