404 Not Found? Getting 404 after final alert() and before document.writ()

I am using the workspace for the madlibs task, getting 404 error before document.write() and after all the prompt() and alert(), see my code below:

var personTwo; var location; var theEvent; var reasonWhy; var theEnd;

var firstName = prompt("What is your name?"); personTwo = prompt("Who is with you in your little adventure?"); location = prompt("Where did you crazy cats go together?"); theEvent = prompt("Then all of a sudden something incredible happened! What was that?"); reasonWhy = prompt("Why did that incredible thing happened?"); theEnd = prompt("How did your adventure end?"); alert("Thank's For Playing!!");

var answer = (firstName +" and " + personTwo +" went to " + location + " and then suddenly " + theEvent + "!" + " because " + reasonWhy + " and in the end things ended " + theEnd);

document.write(answer);

Thanks for the help :)

:point_right: Don't use "location" as a variable name.

The variable name "location" is reserved for the URL of the current page. Changing it causes the browser to attempt to load a new page using the value being assigned.
