Tell us what’s happening:

Hi community,
I don’t know if this step is bugged or if it’s an error on my end, but the code I’ve written correctly verifies that the text content is different each time the user edits it. Can you please help me understand what’s wrong?

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Note taking app</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <p class="helper-text">Click or tap on the card to edit your note.</p>

    <div id="note" class="note" contenteditable="true" aria-label="Note editor">
      Many languages have words that carry meanings so specific or culturally rooted that they can't be neatly translated into English. 
        
      One example is the Japanese word "tsundoku", which refers to the habit of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread, something many book lovers can relate to. Another is the Portuguese word "saudade", describing a deep, bittersweet longing for something or someone that is absent. Meanwhile, the French word "Dépaysement" captures the disorienting yet exciting feeling of being in a new place, far from home.
        
      These unique words remind us that language is more than vocabulary: it's a window into the values, habits, and emotions of the cultures that create it.
