Javascript Issue..Please help.

Please let me know what is wrong with this code. I keep getting unexpected end of input error, but I think I'm following the teacher pretty much to the tee.

var inStock = [ 'apples', 'eggs', 'milk', 'cookies', 'cheese', 'bread', 'lettuce', 'carrot', 'broccoli', 'pizza', 'potato', 'crackers', 'onion', 'tofu', 'frozen dinner', 'cucumber'];

var search;

function print(message) { document.write( '<p>' + message + '</p>'); }

while ( true ) { var search = prompt("Search for a product in our store. Type 'list' to show all products. Type 'quit' to exit."); if (search === 'quit') { break; }

Thanks!

This is your while loop:

while ( true ) { 
    var search = prompt("Search for a product in our store. Type 'list' to show all products. Type 'quit' to exit."); 
    if (search === 'quit') { 
        break; 
    }

You have forgotten a } to close the body of your loop.

Also, this doesn't work whether I use "var" in the body of the function or not.
