I think there is an error in this challenge.

Is there not supposed to be a document to write to? Since there is none I believe document.write() is not working.

script.js 
var count = 0;
while(count < 26){
  document.write("Hello");
}

There is a document to write to, it's just not shown because it's not something you need to see or interact with to complete the challenge. The issue with your code is that the loop you have written runs infinitely due to the fact that you never increase the count variable within the loop, which means that it will always be less than 26.

If you add some code to increase count within the loop then your code will work fine.

You are missing some important parts of your while condition. Try putting the var count = 0 into it, before checking the value, and then increment it by 1 after each check.
