JavaScript Basic Course Glitch?

Hi, I'm trying to get through this course and entering this statement: alert("Hey, you're back for more?"); did not open a separate dialogue box in Chrome. Is this a glitch? The only text that showed up on the page was the HTML text already included in the body section.

Thanks in advance!

Can you post your code using markdown?

Edit: Also, what are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks, Caleb, for the quick reply.

I am just going through the basics tutorials and came across that issue right away. I'm on the "Write Another Program" section and the code I used was exactly what the example was: alert("Hey, you're back for more?");...nothing showed up except the html text that was already included.

Sorry, not "Write Another Program" but "Where does JS go?"

Can you post all your code? JS and HTML.
