I am doing one of my first code challenges and the preview does not work. I am using a Chromebook - does Treehouse work on a chromebook?

20,155 PointsI have used a Chromebook in the past on treehouse and everything worked fine. I only had to move to another system due to using other applications that are not supported in chrome OS.
The version of chrome running on a Chromebook should also be almost identical running on any other platform and as treehouse seems to be using all html5/css/javascript standards it should run just fine.
I would make sure your system is up to date. Give it a reboot. Also check your content settings to make sure you don't have any policy blocking java script that treehouse uses in the code challenge.
Also I would check any plugins you might have that could block things, such as an ad-block program may cause issues.

But otherwise Treehouse should work fine on a Chromebook.
