<div>s not showing up in page preview.

I've looked through the rest of the questions and triple checked my code, but I can't find what I'm doing wrong. My code looks like it should work but for some reason, the numbered <div>s are not showing up when the page is previewed.

Here is my code:

var html = '';

for (var i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
  html += '<div>' + i + '</div>';
}

It looks to be the same as the code in the video but I can't get it to work. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And yes...it is linked correctly in my HTML doc because I've been using the same workspace for this entire course and all other code before has worked.

Are you printing your results to the document as well?

document.write(html)

Oh my goodness. No, actually, I wasn't. Argh! I spent a good half hour trying to figure out why it wasn't showing. It never occurred to me that there was no document.write statement.

Thanks!
