54,971 PointsTwo things. (1) You're missing the opening html tag, and (2) your JavaScript is being processed before the button is loaded. Modified html is below:
<!Doctype html>
<html>
<body> <h1 id="myHeading">Java</h1>
<button id="myButton">Change Heading Color</button>
<script src="dom.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
