I’m new to this, and downloaded Sublime to learn JavaScript. I’ve been working on learning from CodeAcademy.
I’m finding certain functions don’t work in Sublime. Any piece of code that requires a popup window (confirm, alert, prompt) give me an error in Sublime.
I already went and installed node.js on my Mac. The other functions (at least the ones I’ve learned thus far) work fine on Sublime, but I can’t get these things to work. I know the code is right because it worked on the editor provided by CodeAcademy. I copy and pasted into Sublime and I get the error. On Sublime 2, the error:
ReferenceError: prompt is not defined

I tried downloading Sublime 3 to see if that would make a difference, but I still get pretty much the same error:

I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. I’ve been busting my brain looking for a fix all over the web, but I haven’t run into anything useful.
Thanks for your time.
