For Loops issue

I am producing a weird result when I try to run this code similar to Dave's excercise. What I am seeing is the div closing tag at the end. Here is my code and results.

''' var html = '';

for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i += 1) { html += '<div>' + i + '/div>'; }

document.write(html);

html

1/div> 2/div> 3/div> 4/div> 5/div> 6/div> 7/div> 8/div> 9/div> 10/div>

Hey

You missed off a < on the closing tag, so it is just rendering as a string, also try

var html = "";

Hope this helped

Happy coding

Paul

Also try encapsulating your code between two sets of 3 backticks when you ask a question in the forums, makes it easier for us to read. Check out the markdown cheatsheet below for more info :)
