this code challenge might be glitchy, I am watching "a is not greater than b" pop up in the JS window but I get an error saying it cannot find the alert that says "a is NOT greater than b". HELP!
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if (a > b) {
alert('<p>a is greater than b</p>');
} else {
alert('<p>a is NOT greater than b</p>');
}

You are getting the error because you are adding HTML p tags into the JavaScript code that was not asked for by the challenge and is not needed.
Just delete those, and you're good to go.
if (a > b) {
alert('a is greater than b');
} else {
alert('a is NOT greater than b');
}
Keep Coding! :)
