is there something wrong with the code?
var count = 0;
while(count<26){
document.write();
}

Your code is stuck in a never ending loop. You are telling it to do something while count is less than 26, but count is always 0 since nothing gets added to it. So it will always be 0 and the code will run and run since it never hits 26. Try to increment count somewhere in your while-loop.
count++

you need to increment your while loop each loop.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThis typically happens when you're running an infinite loop through the challenge. What you need to do is give the code a way to break out from the loop.
var count = 0;
while(count<26){
document.write();
count++;
}
You can do this with the increment operator. Now the while loop will count the variable 25 times and stop when the value of count is not longer less than 26.
Good luck. :-)
