Why doesn't this code work?

It worked fine at W3.school. I got this from there, hoping to practice, and..... nothing. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 id="id1">My Heading 1</h1> <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('id1').style.color = 'red'"> Click Me!</button> </body> </html> https://code.sololearn.com/W4N3JCH7ej8f/?ref=app

css javascript sololearn

You probably have copy pasted whole code wich contains non-breaking-spaces... open it with web sololearn code playground (open the link in a browser rather than in the app) will red hilight those html unsupported white spaces inside tag, and replace them with normal white spaces: it should now work ;)
