The only differences I see are that the myHeading is blue on mine, and orange in the video and the => is orange instead of black? Why is that?
const myHeading = document.getElementById('myHeading');
myHeading.addEventListener('click', () => { myHeading.style.color = 'red'; });

Please show the complete code for analysis and a specific answer (preferably with a workspace "snapshot").

6,854 PointsHello Sarah, I taked your code on my text editor and it is work.... Maybe you forget to add the external scriptsheet to your HTML document... ( <script src="script.js" charset="utf-8"></script> )...
And other thing, I prefer to name the variable with another name for not futures confusions... In this way:
const b = document.getElementById('myHeading');
b.addEventListener('click', () => { myHeading.style.color = 'red'; });
All the best Sarah Shelden
