Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,313 PointsWhy does Chrome Dev tools give a 404 message for shout.js lesson?
Screenshot: https://snipboard.io/AUNztc.jpg
It does produce the prompt. When I answer the prompt, it doesn't reveal the answer in the console.
The only error message is along the lines of 404, not found.
Why does this error message display?

But in the code I see the first line defines "StringToShout" (with 3 capital letters), but then the second line attempt to access "stringtoShout" (with just one capital) instead.
In future, a better way to share code to get help is to make a snapshot (not "screenshot") of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,313 PointsIs there a way to identify which browser extension is causing the error message? I'd like to remove it.
Good observation! I didn't see notice the lack of capital letters.
Thank you for including the link to how to do a snapshot. I'll definitely use that in the future to share the code in the workspace.

8,274 Pointsgot the same error message. i thought i was bugging wondering why it works well for him and not for me. I typed it in chrome using the console for js. and my error said "uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'stringToShout' has already been declared. "
const stringToShout = prompt("what do you want to shout");
let shout = stringToShout.toUpperCase();
const shoutMessage = <h2>The message to shout is: ${shout}!!</h2>;
document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = shoutMessage; VM572:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'stringToShout' has already been declared

i did copy the code to the console of Firefox and it worked perfectly
const sTS = prompt ("what would you like to shout?"); const shout =sTS.toUpperCase();
const sM =the message to shout is: "${shout}!";
