Your script runs before the div is created. – Dec 17 '20 at 16:02

Put the `div` tag before the `script` tag and you should be good. your code doesn't work as you expected because JS can not find the `div` and that's because it doesn't exist yet, when browser wants to run the code. – Mehdi Dehghani Dec 17 '20 at 16:04

<div id="assignmentName"></div>
<script>
let name = prompt("what is the name?");
document.getElementById('assignmentName').innerHTML = name;
console.log(name)
</script>
There are two good ways to include the JavaScript.
- Create a new script.js. Copy & Paste
<script src="script.js" defer></script>right in front of the closing</body>tag.
or
- Create a new script.js. Copy & Paste
<script src="script.js" defer></script>right in front of the closing</head>tag.
In this both cases, defer is forcing the website layout to 100% and run the skript after.
