Right now you've got an infinite loop, because while (26) will always evaluate to true. Additionally, you normally don't want to make alterations to challenge code unless they specifically ask you to.

var count = 0; // Leave this as 0, just in case!

while (count < 26) {  // While the count is less than 26...
  document.write("The count is: " + count); // Write something meaningful to the document so you can keep track of what's happening.
  count++; // Increment the count by one. This is just a shorthand for this.
}
