When using Light Tables to run my JavaScript program, I am trying to prompt the user for input using the "prompt" command. I get the error Error: prompt() is and will not be supported. but I know it is possible because there are videos of people using it. I have to use the prompt command. Is there a plugin or extension that I am missing?

var subTotal = prompt("Enter a sales sub-total.");
subTotal = parseFloat(subTotal);

var salesTax = prompt("Enter a tax rate.");
salesTax = parseFloat(salesTax);

var grandTotal = subTotal * salesTax; 

alert("Sub-total: " + subTotal + " Sales Tax: " + salesTax + " Grand Total: " + grandTotal );

  • You will need to include the code you are working with and that reproduces the issue you are talking about in your question. You can't expect people to sit though a YouTube video just to understand your problem – Tomalak Sep 04 '16 at 15:49
  • There's probably a way you can hook into the LT code itself to display a prompt in the newer versions. Make a post to ask about this in [the Google Groups group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/light-table-discussion). – Kenny Evitt Sep 07 '16 at 13:56
