54,971 PointsIn testing your code I received a different error:
Bummer: There was an error with your code: TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'contentDiv.appendchild(newParagraph)')
This is because the C in appendChild
should be uppercase.

To attach a CSS class to an element via code we use the classList property which has a method called, add()
.
It should look like:
newParagaph.classList.add('panel');
