I think you may be confusing Java with JavaScript, and I suspect that there’s a bunch of code that your post isn’t showing?

use one of the two following options to make your code/indent is visible:

select your code and press ctrl + shift + c (or cmd + shift + c if you use a mac)

if this instructions are unclear, you can also insert 3 backticks before and after your code, like so:

```
<p>visible</p>
```

the backtick is located above the tab key on your keyboard. If you edit/update your question, leave a reply so we get a notification

Thats were i think im trying to go with it … The first post is the initial page created and i was only left a brief description as to how to "prime the loop ". 2nd HTML is my attempt

obviously doing it wrong

Well, can we have access to this file: src=“Dice%20Roller_files/random.js”? Because that might change everything.

This isn’t Java nor is it part of any courses, this thread should be in Corner Bar.
