I'm pressing enter but nothing happens when I run it , only getting the prompt. Why?

This workspace seems to be set up to create a web page using the "preview" button (looks like an eye). What are you doing that displays a prompt (and what is the prompt)?

Also, the code in shout.js creates variables, but does not do anything to display their contents on the page.

I was stuck on 4:20 of the video. He never mentions copy and paste "document.querySelector('main');" into inspect/console. My bad, figured it out...... As far as prompt,"What do you want to shout?" every time I refresh the page.
