Javascript Issue with MASH Game

Hello!

Everything with the HTML and CSS was looking good--I was able to change my questions and fonts etc to my liking--but the MASH game just doesn't work--I press the button and it doesn't pop up. It keeps my answers in the text boxes, it just doesn't return anything.

Was I not supposed to change my values in the Javascript document to match the terms in my HTML document--that's the only thing I changed in that document.

Here is a screenshot of my code: https://w.trhou.se/4q9inde8om

Thanks!

Interesting. I forked your workspace and took a look. But when I do that, and enter all the information and click the "Tell My Fortune", it works! So let's check some basics. It may sound silly, but make sure you've saved your file. After clicking the preview, try refreshing the browser. If none of this works, try clearing your browser cache and see if you can get it working. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thanks Jennifer! I tried it in an incognito window and on different devices and it works--so it definitely was a cache issue--I feel so silly :)

Taylor Fugere absolutely no reason to feel silly! It's natural to jump to the conclusion that something's wrong with the code. We've all done it :sparkles:
