Removing text from JavaScript code

Challenge Task 1 of 2

Take a look around at the app.js and index.html files. In this task we're going to remove the pleaseEnableParagraph from the body. Do that around line 7.

app.js 
var body = document.body;
var newParagraph = document.createElement("p");
var pleaseEnableParagraph = document.querySelector("#please_enable");

//Remove "Please Enable JavaScript" paragraph

body.removeChild("p");


//Append new paragaph to document
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <p id="please_enable">Please Enable JavaScript</p>

    <script src="app.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

The challenge editor, above where you placed your code states

//Remove "Please Enable JavaScript" paragraph

so instead of "p" you would place the pleaseEnableParagraph variable instead

I hope this helps
