Not updating the High Score :(

i am making a game in javascript. it has a score and high score element: Score: 0 High Score: 0 and if the game ends it is supposed to update the highscore, assuming that the score is greater than the previous high score: if(END){ sc = document.getElementById("score").innerHTML; hsc = document.getElementById("highScore").innerHTML; sc>hsc?document.getElementById("highScore").innerHTML = sc: document.getElementById("highScore").innerHTML = hsc; document.getElementById("score").innerHTML = 0; END = false; setup(); } the first time that it runs, when the high score is 0, it will update, but for some reason it wont ever do it after....... if anyone can help :D

What you get from 'innerHTML' property is a string value: you may convert it to number to be able to properly compare the values ;) For making you code working here in playground, you just have to link the library you need normally, with <script> tags in <head>. If you want use the JS tab, you must know that's silently linked to Html tab ( so the Css tab ) as if was in <head>... For that reason, this code is exeuted before dom is loaded, so, for access to it, you need to wait for 'window.onload' event ( for example ). Anyway, appart from these few adaptations, and some limitations of code playground, your codes should be mostly able to work here :P
