Why are the colors in my page not changing ??? unexpected line 4

My code looks exactly like Davids. However, the colors of the circles are not changing back and forth. I moved on one more workspace from when I posted the original question. However, with the code below I keep getting an error message that states: Unexpected token JS line 4 ?? I do not see one. this is line 4: function randomRGB(); {

var html = ''; var rgbColor;

function randomRGB(); { return Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 ); }

function randomColor();{ var color 'rgb('; color += randomRGB() ','; color += randomRGB() ','; color += randomRGB() ','; return color; }

function print(message) { docuemnt.write(message);

}

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 1) { rgbColor = randomColor(); html += '<div style="background-color:' + rgbColor + '"></div>'; }

print.(html);

There were quite a few errors commented below:

var html = '';
var rgbColor;

function randomRGB() { //semicolon removed
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
}

function randomColor(){ //semicolon removed
    var color = 'rgb('; // equal sign added
    color += randomRGB() + ','; //plus sign added
    color += randomRGB() + ','; //plus sign added
    color += randomRGB() + ')'; //plus sign added. changed , to ) 
    return color; }

function print(message) {
    document.write(message); //changed docuement to document
}

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 1) {
    rgbColor = randomColor();
    html += '<div style="background-color:' + rgbColor + '"></div>'; }

print(html); //period removed

I think i just found an error in your code. You didn't make a variable for your function:

function print(message) { document.write(message); }

You might want to make a variable so your code can function properly. Hope this helps :)
