未捕获的引用错误：未定义提示

Question

here is my code

var person =prompt("Please enter your name");
console.log(person); 

output:

Uncaught Reference Error: prompt is not defined

I also tried

var person = window.prompt("Please enter your name", "Harry Potter");
console.log(person);

and output is:

Uncaught Reference Error: window is not defined

Answer 1

Prompt and window are defined on the client-side and won't work on the server-side. To get around this problem, I think the link below would be helpful for you.
