Hello and welcoem to the community :smiley:!

Text is gonna be a string date type and should therefore be enclosed in a set of quotation marks as the correct syntax for a string data type.
Ex:
var myName = “Esther”
Hope this helps.

Welcome to the community, @wyne!

And use a ; (semicolon) at the end of a JavaScript line, not a : (colon), or you’ll start getting errors. JS doesn’t require semicolons to end lines, but it’s a good habit to get in to.

Thank you for this tip. I’ll keep that in mind when I start my project in a few months time
