What is the class of panel?

Set the class of panel to the newParagraph.

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

The wording of this question confused me too. It is asking you to give newParagraph a class attribute with the value of panel. so through javascript methods add class="panel" to the markup for newParagraph.

I know thats not a great explanation but hopefully it is helpful.

Hi Ali. Just add "panel" className to newParagraph. Like this:

newParagraph.className = "panel";

So you use it? It works for me.

const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");
newParagraph.className = "panel";
