Isn't this just missing the condition "counter > 11" ? I can't figure out what else would be missing.

If the counter starts at 1, then to run it 10 times you would just need the condition "counter > 11" in the parentheses. When I add this condition, I get an error message saying that document.write() is run undefined times.

script.js 
var counter = 1;
while ( ) {
    document.write("<p>Now in loop #" + counter + "</p>");
    counter += 1;
}

Hey Seth,

You're on the right track, you're just using the 'greater than' comparison instead of less than. Fix that and you are good to go

while ( counter < 11 )

Keep Coding! :)
