No idea what to do?

This is asking me to use .append(); I'm also assuming it's .append($modal)? It's saying I need to add this to the dismiss button? I have no idea what to do...

Also, can you let me know if my code isn't showing? I'm clicking attach code and it doesn't appear to be attaching it..

You only need to append the dismissButton to the $modal <br> under: <br> <!-- var $dismissButton = $("<button>Dismiss</button>"); --> <br> put this:<br> <!-- $modal.append($dismissButton); -->
