Hi there,

When you post code remember to follow these instructions:

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

As it makes it much easier to read and to show to others :). It will look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <style> body > div{position:relative; height:56px; overflow:hidden; width:256px; border:3px solid #000; }

@keyframes move{ 0%{ opacity:1; transform:scale(0);

} 100%{ transform:scale(1);} }

span{

transform:translate(-50%,-50%);height: 100%;border-radius:50%; opacity:0; cursor:pointer; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); width: 100%;

pointer-events:none; position: absolute; }

.blue{animation:2.5s move; }

::before,*::after{ margin:0; padding:0; box-sizing:border-box; }

</style> </head> <body> <div tabindex="0"> <div class="red"></div> </div> <script> const parent = document.querySelector('div');

parent.addEventListener('click',function(e){

let y = e.clientY - e.target.offsetTop

let x = e.clientX - e.target.offsetLeft; const ripple = document.createElement('span')

ripple.classList.add('blue') ripple.style.top= y + "px" ripple.style.left=x + "px" parent.appendChild(ripple)

}) </script> </body> </html>

Also remember to use coding best practices! Make use of white space and comments to make your code more readable :).

I see a number of places where you have missed semicolons. Remember to include a semi-colon after each line of code! This is a classic mistake and everyone makes it - from coding veterans to learners :)
