Am I am making a mistake here? Need help. I am clueless.
The Code:
var answer;
prompt ("What day is it?")
var answer = prompt ("What day is it?")
document.write (answer)
The Error Message:
It looks like you placed the document.write() function in the wrong place.

You've declared the var twice, so remove the first two lines. And I think Javascript code lines are terminated with a semi-colon.
var answer;
answer = prompt("What day is it?"); // you can do that on one line
document.write(answer);
I hope that helps.
Steve.
