Will not run the "else" part of the code!

var answer = prompt('What programming language is the name of a gem?'); if ( answer === 'Ruby' ) { document.write("<p>That's right!</p>"); } else { document.write("<p>Sorry, that's wrong.</p>"); }

Hi Dean it worked on my part, were you doing it on your local computer or via workspaces?

var answer = prompt('What programming language is the name of a gem?'); 

if ( answer === 'Ruby' ){ 
    document.write("<p>That's right!</p>"); 
} else { 
    document.write("<p>Sorry, that's wrong.</p>"); 
}

perhaps it wasn't your code but your browser cache, deleting cookies or doing a cache refresh, or even try copy and pasting it on the browser console, it's what I did.

But either way your code works from what i've seen.
