index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Hi Sherry,

Perhaps the problem is that you have forgotten to close the function parathesis (assuming you are on task 1). Here is the correct code below:

function getYear() {

}

Happy coding!
