var answer = prompt('what day is it?'); console.log(answer);
var answer = prompt('what day is it?');
console.log(answer);

8,446 PointsHi Kelly,
I haven't done much javascript for more than a year now so I'm a bit rusty and my answer cloud be wrong :D But I think that you might need to declare the type="text/javascript" of the script in the script tag. I hope it helps, but if not I'm sure someone with more experience will help you soon :D Good luck.
