After line 4 in the app.js file, assign the greeting event handler to the click event on the sayButton.
The code:
var sayButton = document.getElementById("say");
var greeting = function() {
alert("Hello World!");
}
greeting=sayButton;

To put code into a forum post use triple back ticks -- ``` — around the code. I fixed your code here, but in the future here's a forum discussion that describes how to add HTML, CSS, JavaScript or other code to the forum: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

Treehouse TeacherOne way to attach a function to an event (create an event handler) is to select the element, then add a dot, followed by the event name, then use = to assign the function:
sayButton.onclick = greeting;
