When I make an alert in javascript, the pop up in Workspaces doesn't look like the one in the video. Is this normal?

When working thru the javascript basics series, I executed the "alert" command successfully in my code and it works. However the pop-up that appears doesn't look like the one in the video. In the video, the pop up has the google logo and the "ok" button is colorful and dynamic. Mine works but it is a very plain and boring box that has a default font on it that reads the following:

port-80-vuek3ibs9w.treehouse-app.com Says

Is this normal? I'm fine if it is, but I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing and their pop-ups in Workspaces don't have the dynamic look as in the video with the google logos and colors?

I wish I could figure out how to embed a screenshot in this question box to show you what I mean. Is that possible?

BTW my Chrome Browser is updated. This is the version I'm using: Google Chrome is up to date Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thanks much for any feedback or help you can give me, Lane

Hi Lane,

I see the same thing as you are describing of the alert box appearing without the Google Logo. I wouldn't worry about it as he may be using an older version of browser. The alert box may change appearance throughout browsers and browser versions, but it won't affect your lessons.

Thanks so much for your reply, Dale! Agree with you that it didn't affect my lessons, but it's good to know that it's normal.

Best, Lane

Hi Lane,

I experience the same difference when working along with the video. Thanks for posting the question as I was also wondering if it was normal too.
