There is another error in your code. Look at line 12 in script.js
The div you want to attach text to has an id of “quoteDisplay” in the html, but the div you are selecting in the function has an id of “quotes”.

I knocked up an example that works on my machine.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Random Quote Generator</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Random Quote Generator</h1>
        <div id="quotedisplay"></div>
        <button onClick="newQuote()">Get New Quote</button>
        <script src="script.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

var quotes = [
"tester is a tester",
"Chin Up",
"Churred up bro",
"dancing can be fun",
"lets play pool",
"swiming is fun",
"winning lotto will make everyone happy"
];

function newQuote(){
    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (quotes.length));
    document.getElementById("quotedisplay").innerHTML = quotes[randomNumber]
}
