new print function / .innerHTML not working.

I have added the new print function that Dave has stated. For some reason it's not printing out everything that I requested?

Could someone please explain why?

Here's my CodePen Link:

Thanks,

Each time you use your "print" function, it replaces the element content, wiping out anything put there before.

You could use a different kind of assignment to add to instead of replace the content each time:

  outputDiv.innerHTML += message;  // notice "+=" instead of "="

You've got a couple of stray quote marks on line 51:

  html+="<h1>"you got these questions correcct "</h1>";

The entire string should be enclosed by just one pair of quotes. Look at line 53 for a correct example.

And for future issues, please always start a fresh question.
