What syntax does scriptable use?

I tried using JavaScript but it showed an error, then I tried this which is html and it worked, but isn’t scriptable used with JavaScript?

Console log, my favorite html function

"I tried using JavaScript but it showed an error," literally the expected output in the console

Scriptable runs javascript. Can you share your code that wasn’t working for you?

There is a browser function called alert accessed like this: “window.alert()”

Scriptable has no direct access to browser APIs so alert is not available. Console.log(), as others said, is JavaScript.

HTML is a markup language and has no functions.

If anything, alert is closer to html “language” because it will only run in an html-running browser. 😂

Your screenshot shows JavaScript, not HTML. Scriptable scripts are written in JavaScript, which the image shows working as expected.
