Hi Below is my code, it continues to tell me I need to wrap elements in closing tags. I feel like im not stupid and have exactly the same amount of closing as opening tags.... Can anyone find the error in this code?
function Application() { return ( <div className="scoreboard"> <div className="header"> <h1>Scoreboard</h1> </div> </div> <div className="players"> <div className="player"> <div className="player-name"> Brandon Zucker </div> <div className="player-score"> <div className="counter"> <button className="counter-action decrement"> - </button> <div className="counter-score"> 33 </div> <button className="counter-action increment"> + </button> </div> </div> </div> </div> ); };
ReactDOM.render(<Application />, document.getElementById('container'));

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsyou are returning multiple elements instead of just one. wrap everything in your return in a div, the error will go away. see this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34893506/return-multiple-elements-inside-react-render
