Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 25,822 PointsThe only thing i can see is there are Newlines on your line 6 and 8. I hit backspace on both and everything worked the way it is supposed too. The code should look like this:
var input1 = prompt("Please type a starting number");
var bottomNumber = parseInt(input1);
var input = prompt("Please type a number");
var topNumber = parseInt(input);
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (topNumber - bottomNumber + 1)) + bottomNumber;
var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + "and " + topNumber + ".</p>";
document.write(message);
Just make sure your not hitting enter until after you are finished with the line even if it's to the edge.

var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + " and " + topNumber + ".</p>";
If you look in the console you will see the error. "Line break". when debugging its always best to check the console for errors.
