https://teamtreehouse.com/library/what-are-loops Copied code from solutions to workspace; this script does not work.

Hey all!

So I noticed when filling in the script it did not work in my browser. The browser is called Brave, which is chromium based.

So I started debugging but I failed. And so I downloaded the solution for the video. This is my current code, based upon the downloaded solution but the problem still persists. I also tried this solution in Chrome and this did not solve it.

script code looks like:

function randomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; } var counter = 0; while ( counter < 10000 ) { var randNum = randomNumber(6); document.write(randNum + ' '); counter += 1; }

HTML code looks like:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Let’s Make Random Numbers</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <h1>Let’s Make Random Numbers</h1> <script scr="scripts.js"></script> </body> </html>

I see that this course is retired, I'm following the other courses that replaced it and see how it goes from there. I still like to know the answer, so feel free to answer. Have a great day!

It looks like the only issue is a misspelled attribute name in the HTML file, preventing the JavaScript from loading:

  <script scr="scripts.js"></script>  <!-- original code -->
  <script src="scripts.js"></script>  <!-- fixed "src" attribute spelling -->

Ha thanks for the fast response, that one flew over me even after looking at it 10 times in a row. Perhaps I should make a loop for that. ;) Thanks for the help!
