Don't understand

I don't understand the question...

I put a counter in the while but is wrong...

script.js 
var counter = 1;
while ( counter === 11 ) {
    document.write("<p>Now in loop #" + counter + "</p>");
    counter += 1;
}

You've got the right idea, but in your code, your while loop will only run if counter is strictly equal to 11. You want your loop to run any time counter is less than 11, so that it will run repeatedly.

var counter = 1;
while ( counter < 11 ) {  // You'll need to change strictly equals to less than.
    document.write("<p>Now in loop #" + counter + "</p>");
    counter += 1;
}

Your condition in the while loop should be (counter < 11)
