I have been trying to pass this challenge for the last half an hour and it keeps giving me "bummer" errors!

("Capturing visitor input and writing it to the page"; challenge task 3) There is nothing wrong with it!!!!:

var answer prompt("What day is it?"); answer = prompt("What day is it?"); document.write(answer);

Apparently I can't show how my answer looks because it shows it all on one line.

errors I get: "bummer, it looks like you placed the document.write() function in the wrong place" "oops, it looks like task 1 is no longer passing"

You need to link this question with the challenge you are having trouble with. That way we can see what is going on better.

I solved it by moving the "document.write(answer)" one line up. Still doesn't make sense.

thats good, but this is incorrect: 

var answer prompt("What day is it?");

//it needs to have an operator. 

var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
