Why does my Browser only seem to recognize two elements Body and Header but not Main

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = xxx will not run in Browser but if I replace main with body it does place the xxx on the web page. When I look at the elements it seems like only Body and Header are available.

Are you using your own webpage? If you are, you need to create a main element in your HTML for that to work. You can create one by typing <main></main> inside the <body> tag. Hope this helped!
