handleReset breaks the program

I've been following this and I've actually finished this stage. But I had to remove handleReset because the whole thing crashes. I studied it carefully AND I removed my code and put in the instructor's from the final version.

I've tried replacing the handleReset function with some vanilla JS version but I am neither good nor clever enough to make that work.

Again, this is clearly a problem with the code supplied. I've replaced all the parts that were worked on in this stage. The compiler just isn't having it.

I would like to finish this course. I am hoping someone knows what might be going on. Happy holidays everyone. I love Treehouse.

Hi Nancy Melucci,

I tried running code by downloading it and it's working fine. Is there is any error in console at the time of crash ?

I know you’re saying that the code is what’s supplied but the instructor, but would you mind pushing it to a repo anyway and posting a link to it here?

Well...a Christmas miracle. I re-inserted the code from the instructor file, and now my stopwatch runs and doesn't break the program.

I am deeply confused but I am not going to ask any more questions.

Happy holidays and thanks for responding. I wish you a happy and prosperous new year. Stay well.

Within the next 48 hours I'll put it in my Github. The error message is very long. I'll see what I can do about reproducing that.

Happy holidays everyone. Thanks for responding. NJM
