SyntaxError parse error as far as I can tell all the syntax is correct. I keep getting this error

I keep getting this error, no matter how many times I re-write or how many different ways I write it. I tried googling a solution but I couldn't come up with anything that seemed to help. Am I missing something obvious?

script.js
var count = 0;


while (count < 26)


  document.write (count);

count+=;


}

I' m aware that there is a missing opening curly brace. That has been amended and has not helped with my code running correctly. Getting same error.

The brace was one issue, but the other is where you have "count+=;"   ... that's not a complete assignment.

You probably meant to write either "count += 1;" or "count++;"   Either would increment the count by one.

ah yes something obvious, thank you!
