Probably an easy fix but I'm a noob at js.

I am building a simple program that asks users to select questions using the prompt command and then I display their answers on the webpage using document.write.

var test = prompt("this is a test"); document.write( "<h1>this is the " + test + "</h1>");

// I want the text to be written and then I want the second prompt to pop up.

var test = prompt("this is a test"); document.write( "<h1>this is the " + test + "</h1>");

You can only declare a variable once. If you want to reuse the "test" variable, just leave off the "var" keyword on the second line.
