Please help JavaScript

In the myscript.js file, on line 6, get the element by the id of "container" Bummer! You haven't set the id to 'container'. Remember not to use a '#'.

/* JavaScript Foundations: Variables */
var bgColor = "blue";
var textColor = "#FF9933";

var container = document.getElementById('title');
container.style.background = bgColor;
container.style.color = textColor;

Well, right now, the code on the line 6 (var container = document.getElementById('title');) is looking for an element with the id title. You want to replace that with the id specified in the challenge (container).

<code> The identical() method is being called but the variables are not identical. See if you can fix the code. Bummer! Try the strict equality operator. </code>

  var myUndefinedVariable = null;
        var myNullVariable = null;

        if (myNullVariable == myUndefinedVariable) {
            identical();
        }

I have tried applying (===) but I get different messages
