How would you get a message to display in the HTML after each guess that says "You have X tries left" It did not work after I tried to reassign "message" variable after the prompt. Wondering how that would work with a loop. I was able to display that information in the prompt, but not on the HTML page. Wondering if anyone has done this. Thanks.

Interactions using the page are done with forms or the event mechanisms, both of which will be covered in later courses.
