Hello there!

Let me suggestion something. Go to codepen.io and create a pen for your project: http://codepen.io/pen/ Add all of your code, html, css and javascript and let me know when it's done. I will help you! When you copy stuff here you can see the indentation is massed up and hard to understand the code and point out the issue.
