The code that creates the prompt box is in the js file which is not shown here. To share your entire workspace, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and share the link to it. Click the highlighted word for a video explaining how.

The code might be using alert, which generates a modal dialog.
Modals are essential operational elements and shouldn't be counted as "pop-up windows" by correctly coded software.
