I thought I had it right...

My answer looks similar to what I did in a previous lesson's workspace, so idk what I did wrong. I have the ; and "" and everything seems spelled correctly. Even when I clicked Preview it "seemed" to work...

anybody spotting any flaws...?

scripts.js
var answer = prompt("What day is it");
index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

It looks like it would create a prompt that asked What day is it put the result into the answer variable. I would need to see the question to know for sure what is wrong.

It's all good Eric, I literally just NOW figured it out

I didn't put a ? inside the parenthesis which threw it all off... that was it. I need to stop trying to rush through these assignments and actually pay attention to the details.

Thanks though
