Assuming you're using JSHint in WebStorm, set Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Code Quality Tools > JSHint > Environments > Browser to true

Update: Also, as mentioned earlier, for good code you should use window.prompt, just so it's clear you're using the built in browser prompt rather than a custom function etc... (the same goes for alert, so use window.alert)

Finally, unrelated to the question, but something I noticed - it's good practice to use the === operator. There are a million articles online explaining why :)
