Seems like you're running into a syntax problem. Your code should look like this:
var player = "Jasmine";
document.write(player);

Welcome to Treehouse;
You want the print the variable player, not the string 'player'. Just take the quotes off of 'player' in your second line of code.
Happy Holidays,
Ken
