JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Working With Numbers The Random Challenge Solution

No pop-up box appears on my browser.

var input = prompt("Please type a number");
var topNumber = parseInt(input);
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * topNumber) + 1;
var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between 1 and " + topNumber + ".</p>";
document.write(message);

I've keyed in the codes above and previewed it on WorkSpace after saving.However there was no prompt box showing up. Is there anything to do with browser settings?

Close and re-open the tab. That should do the trick.
