Hi martina,

There are a few errors I found in the code provided.

1- With the var playlist, you have typo. You used a comma instead of a period

var playButton = document.getElementById("play");  //changed comma to period between document and getElement

2- At var nextButton, you missed a closing quotation mark in the argument passed in.

var nextButton = document.getElementById("next");       //added closing quotation mark after "next"

3- Same error as #2 with argument passed in on var stopButton.

Fix those up and it should work.

Keep coding! :)

Hi Martina!

A couple things - when you post your code it's much easier to read if you use the markdown syntax for code. In this case you would use:

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

        ```html
        <p>This is code!</p>
        ```

Second, I went through the code you posted and I don't see any errors. However, the problem could reside within your index.html file, or your movie.js file.

Here's a link to my workspace for this challenge:

EDIT: I linked the wrong workspace initially, here's the correct one!

If you want to you can compare yours to mine and see if you can track down the issue, or if you'll post yours I'll fork it and take a look!

I don't now if anyone mention it but you have wrote "playButton.oneclick = function() {" I think is on line "18" and it should be "onclick" without the "e". I hope it helps.
