Can someone tell me why this is not running in my editor?

This code depends on an HTML component that is not shown here.

Apparently, the outer "addEventListener" function is not closed. The unusual indentation makes it hard to spot (but testing in the workspace revealed the issue quickly).

The code needs one more ending brace and parenthesis:

});

Thank you. I'm semi new to the functionality of the workspace. How can I run a test in it to show errors?

While running the preview, I just opened my browser's development tools.

Since you're already taking the prerequisite course, once you finish you might enjoy the Debugging JavaScript in the Browser workshop.

I will study the workshop you've suggested. Thank you.
