Nothing changes on the webpage

I have:

  • refreshed the page :P
  • looked for typos
  • seen the solution video

Still nothing is changing on the webpage...did I miss something?

My code: (Feel free to enlighten me how to share it in a more readable way..:))

// 1: Select the element with the ID 'about'. 
//    Store the element in the variable `about`.
const about = document.getElementById('about');
about.style.border = "2px solid firebrick";

// 2: Select all the <h2> elements in the document.
//    Set the color of the <h2> elements to a different color.
const h2 = document.getElementsByTagName('h2');
for (let i =0:i< h2.length; i += 1) {
  h2[i].style.color = 'dodgerblue';
}


// 3: Select all elements with the class '.card'. 
//    Set their background color to the color of your choice.
const card = document.getElementByClassName('card');
for (let i = 0; i < card.lengt; i +=1) {
  card[i].style.backgroundColor = 'orange';

}

// 4: Select only the first <ul> in the document.
//    Assign it to a variable named `ul`.
const ul = document.querySelector('ul');
ul.style.border = "2px solid indigo";

// 5: Select only the second element with the class '.container'.
//    Assign it to a variable named `container`.
const container = document.qetElementsByClassName('cointainer')[1];
container.style.backgroundColor = "royalblue";

// 6: Select all <a> elements that have a 'title' attribute. 
//    Set their color value to the color of your choice.

const title = document.querySelectorAll('a[title]');
for (let i =0: i < title.lengt; i += 1) {
  title[i].style.color = 'hotpink';
}

MOD: Edited question to format the code. :-)

To preserve your code's layout, use Markdown formatting. There's a video on code formatting. Oherwise, it might look like certain things are wrong, but they are not in the actual code.

But even better is to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. It allows your environment to be completely replicated to facilitate analysis of the issue.

You have a number of typos to fix. I'll just point them out and see if you can fix them. Using the console would be helpful.

2)

for (let i =0:

3)

getElementByClassName

i < card.lengt

5) (there are two)

qetElementsByClassName('cointainer')

6)(there are two)

for (let i =0: i < title.lengt

Before you refresh your browser, be sure to save your edit changes with the menu or the Ctrl-S shortcut. If that's not it, try posting that snapshot link.

Try starting a fresh question of your own where you can show your code (or better yet, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it).
