If you are using Chrome you may need to tweak your code a bit, everything looks fine in your work space though. From the teachers notes:

Changes to Chrome

Chrome used to allow you to use the .change() method on a range input type but they implemented incorrectly and wasn't compliant with the W3C standards. This was fixed in a later version of Chrome. So this code no longer works:

$("input[type=range]").change(changeColor);
Now you use the input event instead like this:

$("input[type=range]").on("input", changeColor);

It looks like you haven't gotten to the point of 'hooking up' your add color button yet, but your sliders are working for me.

When adding a color, I can manipulate the sliders to change the color in the new color window. The color updates appropriately to all three slider settings.

Can you elaborate on the unintended behavior you're experiencing?

It seems to be working correctly for me, so I might suggest making sure the files are all saved, refreshing your browser, and clearing your cache.

Hi! I don't really understand what your problems is... all the code in your snapshot seems fine and everything that is coded works when previewed...if you mean that when you press the "add color", nothing happens...well that's because you didn't programmed that part yet as it seems in:

//When New color is pressed //append color to the controls ul //select new color

//On mouse events on the canvas //Draw lines
