My code works in the console, but not when previewing it in the browser

So the code below works correctly in the console, but not when previewing it from the workspace. Any ideas what could be wrong?

var questions = 3;
var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]';

var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' + questionsLeft);
questions -= 1;
questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]';

var verb = prompt('Please type a verb' + questionsLeft);
questions -= 1;
questionsLeft = '[' + questions + ' questions left]';

var noun = prompt('Please type a noun' + questionsLeft);
questions -= 1;
questionsLeft = '[' + questions + ' questions left]';

alert('All done. Ready for the message?');
var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective;
sentence += ' programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to ' + verb;
sentence += ' the ' + noun + '.</h2>';
document.write(sentence);

Moderator Edited: Added Markdown (please refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet) so the code is readable in the forum

The posted code seems to work fine.

You probably need to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Hmm, very strange. It didn't seem to work earlier but now it does. Not too sure what was wrong but thanks for your time guys!

Might have just forgot to save, or could have been a connection problem.
