alert() not working in Chrome

Question

\'nuff said. I have absolutely no clue why using alert() there wouldn\'t work. It works perfectly in

Answer 1

Here is a snippet that does not need ajQuery and will enable alerts in a disabled iframe (like on codepen)

for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName('iframe').length; i++) {
    document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[i].setAttribute('sandbox','allow-modals');
}

Here is a codepen demo working with an alert() after this fix as well: http://codepen.io/nicholasabrams/pen/vNpoBr?editors=001
