My answer is wrong and I don't know why

document.write('<h1>Welcome to my site'<h1>);

Why is this wrong? Thanks!

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>

document.write('<h1>Welcome to my site'<h1>);
</script>

</html>

Hi Dave

Your closing ' is in the false position, try this:

document.write('<h1>Welcome to my site<h1>');

Cheers, Chris

This is how the code should be, in the line "document.write('<h1>Welcome to my site</h1>');" you didn't quote "</h1>" which makes it wrong and you should end every html tag with an "/"

Hope this helps :)
