Web Development Techdegree Student 8,301 PointsWhy is my prompt box not showing up when I run the code?
Here is my code:
const adjective = prompt('Please Type an Adjective.'); const noun = prompt('Please type a noun.'); const verb = prompt('Please type a verb.');
const message = <p>The ${adjective}, looking ${noun} came in and ${verb} all the cookies.</p>`;
document.querySelector('main').innerhtml = message;

44,807 PointsIn Firefox, after the first prompt, I got a checkbox in the prompt window that said "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs", which, if you check it, no longer allows the site to prompt the user. In Opera, I needed to reload the page to get the prompts. Have you tried reloading your page or testing your code in another browser?
You might want to change
innerhtmltoinnerHTMLor create a paragraph in main and usetextContenton it instead, but that shouldn't affect getting the prompts.
