Tell us what’s happening:

why doesn’t it work if the value is equated to true?

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

  if(formInputsContainValues === true){
    confirmCloseDialog.showModal();
  }
  else{
    reset();
  };

// User Editable Region

Hi @booleanmethod9

To check the truthiness of a value, you do no compare it to true
Just add the value between the round braces by itself.

Happy coding

As Teller points out, there are things that evaluate to true and you don’t have to do === true.
You can test if something is “truthy” as it is called like this: console.log(Boolean(testValuePutHere)); and it will print to console if testValuePutHere is truthy or falsy. I hope this helps your understanding.
