In JavaScript Course, there was no chapter called DOM. But DOM is the important part of JavaScript for front-end Development. Where and how could we learn the DOM in codecademy.

Thanks

Quick question:

When I press enter to return console.log(global.cat) I get ‘meow!’, but I also get ‘undefined’ returned beneath ‘meow!’.

Why is this?

Typing ‘global’ in bash alone won’t point to anything. You need to type and enter ‘node’ first to enter the actual node REPL environment, wherein ‘global’ is an object that can be accessed. :slight_smile: You’ll know you’re in when you get a ‘>’ prompt instead of the usual ‘$’.

Anyone not able to proceed to the next step after typing in node?

8

I am not able to proceed either, I have also noticed that Codecademy seems to be slower the past few days.

9

Is this from codecademy or from my computer? Because the first instruction ‘node’ isn’t checking!!!

I’ve submitted a bug issue, hopefully it gets resolved soon.

It’s from codecademy, hopefully it’ll be fixed soon

Hi All,

in LEARN NODE.JS

The Node REPL

The first step says to type node in the terminal and hit the enter key, I’ve done this but cannot move to step 2, anyone else have this issue?

14

I saw the posts above yours yesterday, and tried the exercise myself using Firefox. It worked fine for me, so I had hoped it was resolved. Could you tell me which browser you are using?

Edit: Just tried Chrome with no issues.
