Answer 1

You failed to close your textarea. Added line 77 in this version and it works.

Answer 2

Ana I have found the solution

copy and paste the JS part into the the javascript file labeled JS

Here is the code:

However, you can move the code to the top, inside your body tag so it is the first thing that is shown like this:

Answer 3

Hi Ana
I copied your JS part into a blank html file and the alert worked

Don’t know what is wrong

Answer 4

Guys, alert function surely can work on script code located bottom of html codes before closing body tag.

There must be some syntax errors like John Wells mentioned to stop the script tag from parsing the JavaScript codes.

Answer 5

Thanks everyone for your comments and solution. I appreciate them all!
John Wells was right, i missed the textarea closing. Now its working! thank you very much! 😊

Answer 6

Put the script in the head, and it should work.
