Once I make an alert command, the alert box doesn't pop up when I refresh the page. What can be the reason behind why It wont pop up?

There could be any number of reasons.
alert("Your message here");
Is how the syntax goes.
If you've included it in a function of your own make sure you've called it.
You can also check for console errors in your browser's DevTools. :)
