When I open workspace and preview my javascript code, it works and the alert box appears. When I go back and edit the code, save and preview, the alert box does not appear. Why is that?

alert("Hello, there!");
document.write("No, it works!");
I checked the console and it's still reading errors even if I saved it.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,735 PointsWhat is the error message that's coming up in the console? On the righthand side, does it say which file and line number the error is on?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,735 PointsYour code looks right, I think it's just a weird server problem or something. I would restart your computer and go for a walk :)

1,890 PointsI already passed it and I'm not sure where it is. I know the code I did is right, but I'm not sure why the issue happened. I'll let you know if I run into it again.
Thanks for the help!
