704 Pointspreview button not working
The preview button does not work. Every time I click it, it takes me to a blue screen like shown in Mr. Guil's Javascript Basic videos but does not run my code. What is wrong? I have not had any practice with script tags because my code won't run in the preview thing and in a normal JavaScript console it just gives me error messages. Please help or I'm afraid I might fail!
I get this error: VM35:22 Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

15,392 PointsWhat you have looks fine! Was everything working before your code? What section in Javascript Basic are you working on?

704 PointsI don't think my code is the problem because it happens even on strings like this:
alert("Why is the preview button not working?");
