Good now 1 last thing you have to do...
Just remove all the codes from "JS" tab (3rd tab)

Then it will work

Answer 4

Pedro Marcano Salazar. It won't accept HTML tags in the javascript section... That's why it says error

How to fix it:
1) remove all the codes from your javascript section

2) copy this and paste it inside body, in html (7th line)

👇copy 👇

<script>
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>

☝️copy☝️

Answer 5

Mike Perkowski your welcome, sir

Is it working now?

Answer 6

you wrote HTML in the JS tab ...
JavaScript doesn't recognise the HTML, so it gives an error message

Answer 7

just remove everything which is HTML from the JS tab (basically anything that starst or ends with <>)

Answer 8

because you probably have a < somewhere in your code which doesn't belong there or you havn't closed a bracket or something like that...
It would help alot if you shared the code your having trouble with ... otherwise thats all we could tell you...😅

By the way a Syntax Error is when your code is not written properly, like things are missing or at wrong places or shouldn't be where they are.😅

Answer 9

just share your code in this thread ... 😅
