<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Adding an Event Listener</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="warning">
            Warning: My background should be red!
        </div>

When they say "In the button click handler", they mean in the body of the currently empty callback function you are passing to "addEventListener". In other words, between the braces. :point_right: {}
