Hi Nagami,

Another tiny syntax mistake, but you're missing a closing bracket -- } -- on line 14/15, so once your while loop begins, the program searches the entire document and can't find the closing bracket. If you check your console, you will see the error: "Unexpected SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input." Adding the closing bracket fixes this, allowing the program to run, and the prompt to be displayed.

However, it looks like your code is incomplete, because you're missing a chunk of code (inside the for loop on line 17) that will display the search result on the page. If you have trouble finishing the challenge, let me know!

ok thanks for your help!

first i wanted to get the prompt box going. thanks, works now
