Adobe Bridge 2023 does not recognize the javescript command "prompt"

Hello,

Could you please update to the latest Bridge version (13.0.3) and test the "prompt" directly?

Do let us know if it resolves your issue.

Regards,

Bridge Team

I slid an extra equals sign into an old script at the time I was updating Bridge and blamed the new Bridge. Unbelievable. Thank you very, very much for your courtesy and patience. I hope that your next complainant has an actual problem.

Thank you for the switch suggestion.

Thank you.

Here is the script.

It runs on startup.

For whatever reason, I cannot attach the file, so I will paste it here:

var fileRef = "";
var docRef = "";
var PixSet == Window.prompt("LIST OF PROJECTS:\n\n<1> ORLICH FAMILY ALBUM\n\n<2> NOS BOOK\n\n<3> INFLIGHT BOOK\n\n<4> MISS 60 BIRTHDAY ART\n\n<5> FLATBED SCANS - HISTORICAL\n\n<6> POLICE LINE UP - SHARON FAMILY PIC\n\n<7> KARL JOHN CAVALRY\n\n<8> MARIE FORGET ME NOT\n\nEnter a number from 1 to 29", "1");
if (PixSet == 1) { PIXSET01();}
if (PixSet == 2) { PIXSET02();}
if (PixSet == 3) { PIXSET03();}
if (PixSet == 4) { PIXSET04();}
if (PixSet == 5) { PIXSET05();}
if (PixSet == 6) { PIXSET06();}
if (PixSet == 7) { PIXSET07();}
if (PixSet == 😎 { PIXSET08();}

Thank you so much for patiently helping me with this.

I retyped the quotes just to be sure and I’m still getting the error.

I have tried it with and without a capital "W" and still get an error.

alert("TEXT") and Window.alert("TEXT") work fine. window.alert("TEXT") gives an error.

confirm behaves similarly.

Thank you.
I did try using "window.prompt()", but neglected to put that in my original text.
With or without the "window." prefix, I get an error.

Prompt is NOT a function. The proper use is Window.prompt() and the same goes for alert boxes.

Understand that Window.prompt was partially broken in past versions, I bugged it a while back because formatting and behavior wasn't correct. But it should have always used the Window object.

I also get the error “prompt is not a function.” running your example on Windows 10, Bridge version 13.0.2.636

I have tried other prompts with the same resut. I haven't seen “Expected: ;” yet.

This seems to be a Bridge 2023 bug because your example runs without a problem in 2022 (12.0.4.286).
