var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(10);
var guess;
var guessCount = 0;
var correctGuess=false;
function getRandomNumber( upper ) {
var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1;
return num;
}
do{ guess = prompt ( ' I am thinking of a number from 1 to 10. What is it? ');
guessCount+=1;
if( parseInt(guess)=== randomNumber){ correctGuess===true;
} while (!correctGuess)
document.write ('<h1> You guessed the number </h1>');
document.write( 'It took you'+ guessCount + 'guesses to get the correct number');
*Mod Note: * - Added Forum markdown for code clarity.

Actually looking at your code more closely you had an endless loop going on too, after changing your code by adding a break it works as you intended it to:
do{
guess = prompt ( ' I am thinking of a number from 1 to 10. What is it? ');
guessCount+=1;
if( parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) {
correctGuess===true;
break;
}
} while (!correctGuess)
