Parse error help

[hallsofvallhalla]

please give us what line is 163 and what the actual error was, word for word. It helps us find it faster..thanks

[Rob]

line 163 is the ending </html> tag
and it just said parse error on line 163

A parse error on the HTML tag means that you didn't close something out earlier, and it was expecting to be closed before you declared the end of the document.

Ahh, Thanks I've fixed it.

Also, I don't know if you are only showing part of your code, but you need to close the { } as well for the IF statement.

Line 6: make your ( a {

that is a common mistake we see a lot. I may ephasize this on my next video, or on my first videos of the new games.
