Edited: didn't actually look at the challenge in question

There are multiple issues with your file, first you have an extra closing </script> tag. Second content = ' Welcome to my site ' is wrongly defined, it should be var content = 'Welcome to my site' Third there are plenty of ways to solve this issue in reality, however, I believe for this challenge they are wanting a document dot method those methods can be found here (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/) on the left hand side.
