When I use prompt() for 3 questions, each dialog box pops up twice. Can anyone explain me why?

Not having seen your code but having a guess from my own experience.....

May I suggest to check your index.html code? At the end of the video, Dave instructs to make sure we link the .js file to the index.html file, which I duly did in the head section under title

However, what I hadn't noticed is that in fact, a link to story.js was already under h1, which resulted in running the program in the story.js file twice. Maybe this is what's happening for you too?

I hope it helps!
