I'm sorry it was there I deleted it, I just put the age back and it's still not working. What is my HTML supposed to look like?

I have this :

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> </head> <body>

<div id="innerHTML">

</div> <script src="scripts.js"></script>

</body> </html>

Looks like you're missing an integer for your age property. You can't just leave it blank.

If you're doing this on a notepad and you wanna see it print out. Make sure you have a div tag with an "output" id and link to your js file.

or do this:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <div id="output"></div>

    <script script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var person = {
        name: 'Sarah',
        country: 'US',
        age: 11,
        treehouseStudent: true,
        skills: ['JavaScript', 'HTML', 'CSS']
        }

    function print(message) {
        var div = document.getElementById('output');
        div.innerHTML = message;
    }
    var message = '<p>Hello my name is ' + person.name + '</p>';

    print(message);

</script>

</body>

</html>
