In the upper right of your workspace there is a camera icon that says "Snapshot Workspace". Click that and then share the link. They included the snapshot to make it easy to share large chunks of code, otherwise, it will take a long time for someone to go through your question and piece together the code.

When you right-click the page to "inspect" and then look at the "console" tab it tells you there is an error on line 61. More specifically

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ; script.js:61

Remove the semicolon, leave it blank, and then everything runs.

'fightingstyle': get_answer('fightingstyle')

Philip Gales Thank you it did work and run the function! and thanks for the tip of using the inspect tool! but although it did run the function, for some reason it's displaying the answers of two different questions as the same answer, as in if you fill in the inputs with text, the "where you live" and "your fighting style" display the same answer, (for example you live in the UK and your fighting style is UK) here's an updated snapshot of the code .

Line 48 in script.js

  fightingstyle.innerHTML = answers.location;

I won't tell you what it is supposed to be, only that the other lines above it are correct.
