1,053 PointsWhen trying to preview workspace, it doesn't load the scripts.js file, so nothing is running.
I am trying to follow along with the video, but when clicking preview, nothing is happening because scripts.js isn't being loaded.

Treehouse TeacherYour workspace previews fine for me but there is an error in your scripts.js. You have written this:
Document.write("<h1>Welcome to Javascript Basics</h1>");
It should be:
document.write("<h1>Welcome to Javascript Basics</h1>");
Note the capitalization of the word "document". Yes, it matters. When the capitalization is changed and the page is refreshed the "Welcome to Javascript Basics" displays on the page. I get the alert popping up for me. If you don't see the alert, make sure you're allowing popups in your browser and try clearing your browser cache.

1,053 PointsOk, that part makes sense, initially I was having a problem with it even showing the alert. Once I created that link, I tried opening it and it ran without changing anything and it popped up just fine. So not sure what was going on, but it seems to be working now. I appreciate your help.

Treehouse TeacherIt'd be helpful if we could see your workspace. In the top right of the workspace is a camera icon. Take a snapshot of your workspace and then link us the URL so we can take a peek around. At this point, we can't know if it's the code or a problem with the browser.
