Tell us what’s happening:

I’m trying to figure this out but can’t get the text content of charCount to display.

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Real Time Counter</title>
    <link href ="styles.css" type="stylesheet">
</head>

<body>
    <textarea id="text-input" placeholder="type something"></textarea>
    <p id="char-count">Character Count: 0/50</p>

    <script src="../script.js"></script>
</body>


</html>

/* file: styles.css */
.red{color: red};

/* file: script.js */
    const text = document.getElementById("text-input");
    const charCount = document.getElementById("char-count");

function updateCharacterCount(){
  const textInputValue = text.value;
  const count = textInputValue.length;
  if(count >= 50){
      textInputValue = substring(0,50);
    }
    const updatedCount = textInputValue.length;
charCount.textContent = `Character Count: {$updatedCount/50}`;
if(updatedCount >= 50){
  charCount.classList.add("red");
}else{
  charCount.classList.remove("red");
}
}

don’t go up one folder, the script file is at the same level of the html file
