Series of red dots in beginning of Javascript

Hey all, I'm new to java script and have been working through the beginning series and twice this morning my code has cleared and turned into a long list of red dots. It doesn't let me undo and I'm not sure what I'm doing to trigger this. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

If you show your code we may be able to help. The best way is to make a snapshot (not a "screenshot") of your workspace and post the link to it here.

I can't imagine how this happened, but the file has clearly been altered.

Your best recourse at this point is probably to restart the workspace.

Go to the Workspaces page and locate the one you are using (it will likely be first). Click on the trashcan icon on the right side to delete the workspace, and confirm when you get the pop-up.

With the workspace deleted, you can go back to the course and "Launch Workspace" again. When it comes up, it should have all the files you started with in their initial states. Then continue with the course from there.
