Okay, as above in the thread, it seems that fadi walter was able to figure it out as they made a post putting the code in the original post into the code format. Which, there was also one or two changes made. The one thing that I noticed in the original code was that there was a double quote at the end of the first variable declaration: var html = "; But later on in the thread when the OP finally put it all in the code format, this was changed to the correct var html = ' ';

I tested both codes. The first way, with the single double quote reacted in the preview the same way the OP described, however, dropping the single double quote, and using the single quotes, the code ran fine.

Make sure that you created the script.js file inside the js folder. If you didn't then either move it inside the folder and keep the <script src="js/script.js"></script> in your index.html file or change it to <script src="script.js"></script>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body>

<h1>checked your code on JSfiddle</h1> <p>it seems to be working.</p>

<script> var html = ' '; for (var i = 1; i <=10; i += 1) { html += '<div>' + i + '</div>'; } document.write(html); </script>
