Rank will not display

I copied a bit of the solution yet no matter how many correct/incorrect answers I submit nothing is displayed at the end of the quiz. No errors are shown in the console and the prompts work just fine. Here is my snapshot of said code https://w.trhou.se/kl8p1evgic Any probable solutions? Thanks in advance!

There are a few issues:

  • line 5 assigns the variable "main" with the HTML content of the element instead referring to the element itself
  • line 55 has a bad spelling of "innerhtml" (instead of "innerHTML")
  • the questions are comparing strings to numbers using the type-sensitive equality operator (===)

Thank you so much Steven! I have had constant trouble with understanding the document.querySelector usage, can you give me an example on how to fix that part specifically?

You are using the function correctly, but then selecting an attribute from the result:

// 3. Select the <main> HTML element
const main = document.querySelector('main').innerHTML; // this selects the innerHTML attribute
const main = document.querySelector('main');           // this assigns the element itself
