Only objects word shown once reloaded. What could possibly be the problem?

var person = { name : 'Sarah', country : 'US', age : 35, treehouseStudent : true, skills : ['JavaScript', 'HTML', 'CSS'] };

function print(message) { var div = document.getElementById('output'); div.innerHTML = message; }

var message = '<p> Hello. My name is' + peson.name + '</p>'; message += '<p> I live in the' + person.country + '</p>'; person.name = "Rainbow dash"; message += '<p> But I wish my name was' + person.name + '</p>'; person.age +=1 ; message += '<p> My age is now ' + person.age + '</p>'; message += '<p> I have ' + person.skills.length + 'skills:'; message += person.skills.join + (', ') + </p>;

print(message);

You have a spelling error in the first line of your message variable. It says peson.name instead of person ;) I have run the code again and noticed you had an out of place closing </p> tag at the end of the message. Meaning, you didn't add the tag within the ' ' quotes.

The last line should read as follows:

message += "<p>I have " + person.skills.length + " skills: " + person.skills.join(", "); + "</p>"

I found three issues

1) A typo for person.name here

var message = '<p> Hello. My name is' + peson.name

2) Use of parentheses for the join method

message += person.skills.join(', ') + '</p>';

3) Same line quotes around the closing paragraph tag

message += person.skills.join(', ') + '</p>';
