It didn't show any dots, why?

Hi there! I did the challenge and I'd tried to see if it worked and it didn't appear any dot, so I've watched the solution and write the same code and even that it didn't appear any dot, so I only leave the whole code that start the challenge with the 60 lines of code and it didn't appear though. I tried with firefox and chrome. I thought that my code didn't work but it seems like the problem is other. I don't past the code here because is the same as the beginning of the challenge.

Does anybody know where is the problem?

Do you see anything in the console? Can you post a snapshot?

I don't use brackets, but I'm wondering if it implements "document"? That's something that's typically found only in browsers and might not exist in a non-browser JavaScript engine.

Hi There Steven! I don't know why, I did the challenge with the workspace because I couldn't with the text editor. I was wondering just why :/

The workspace uses your own browser for previews, so "document" will be available when you run it that way.

Hi Kris. Here is the snapshot: https://w.trhou.se/kly65fesgp

The thing is that i'm doing it with my text editor (brackets), and I know that is connected because I pop up an alert at the beginning of the code and it show the alert message but not the dots, if I run the code from the treehouse workspace, it works. Can you tell me why?
