I don't get this question, any help?

In the myscript.js file, on line 6, get the element by the id of "container"

you need to pass in the name of the id to the getElementById function.

currently line 6 is:

var container = document.getElementById('title');

which sets container to the element with the id of "title"

however the element you want has an id of "container", not "title"

var container = document.getElementById('container');
