Because probably you have your script tag inside the head so instead put your script tag before the ending on the body tag like so :

   <body>
      <script src="yoursource.js"></script>
   </body>

Hi jang walia ,

Can you provide the code so other students can help you. eslam said is most likely correct and his answer should fix your problem.

There's some info in this article, and some corrections in the comments : https://javascript.info/onload-ondomcontentloaded

And there is an interesting conversation on the topic here on the community as well : https://teamtreehouse.com/community/why-i-can-see-the-result-of-documentwrite-only-after-all-the-prompts-and-alert-messages-disappear

Hopefully some of that helps..
