12,510 PointsWorks on workspace, but not on my desktop text editor.
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?'); if (answer === 'JavaScript') { alert = ("<p>You are correct</p>"); } else { alert = ("<p>JavaScript is the best language!</p>"); }
So if i put this on workspace it works but when I try to test it on my text editor. It just gives me the prompt and nothing else. Is there something wrong with the syntax?
