cant find why it does not work...

 html = '';
var red;
var green;
var blue;
var rgbColor;
for (var count=1;count<=10;count+=1;){  
  red = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
  green = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
  blue = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
  rgbColor = 'rgb(' + red + ',' + green + ',' + blue + ')';
  html += '<div style="background-color:' + rgbColor + '"></div>';
}
document.write(html);

console says this: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ; script.js:6" but i cant find whats wrong with my loop...

Hi

try to remove the last semicolon in your for loop statement. for (var count=1;count<=10;count+=1)

I was going to say that as well, from a glance looks like the semicolon needs to be removed after count+=1 .

Idan you can also use count++ followed by no semicolon to increment the variable count by 1 every pass through the loop. Our count-- on every count through the loop in decreasing the number in the variable count.
