Javascript Code in Workspace not appearing in html doc

I am following along with this video typing the same code in Workspace and I am not returning the same output when I click on the "preview workspace" icon. I am saving the document to Workspace prior to clicking the icon. It is very basic code that I typed letter for letter.

The code generates a blank html page with a white rectangular box at the top that may be for a header element, on the standard html white background. In the video, the alert script generated a message prompt, where I did not see any message prompt when I executed my code.

alert("Hello from Treehouse"); document.write("<h1>Wecome to Javascript Basics</h1>");

Hello there!

Codepen will show the alert message promt only once after the first time you saved your pen. You have to refresh your page to display the prompt again. I hope this helps, check this screenshot: http://cl.ly/h2du
