You still have quote problems.
This line should only have two quotes, but it has three (note how the syntax coloring gives it away):
document.write("<p>I'm sorry that's wrong"</p>");

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You simply have a runaway quotation mark:
Your code:
else{ document.write("<p>I'm sorry that's wrong"</p>");
Corrected code:
else{ document.write("<p>I'm sorry that's wrong</p>"); //note the removal of the quotation mark after the word wrong
Hope this helps!
