Finally, update the text.innerText assignment to equal the text from the location object. However, instead of using bracket notation, use dot notation.

Here is an example of accessing the name property of an object called person: these are the instructions

It looks fine to me - works on my site. What error message do you get? Are you seeing anything in the console?

Hi @giokashiba

On the last line of the code in the editor, there is some red underlining.

Try closing the update function with a curly brace.

Happy coding
