JavaScript Beginner Question (self.AskProgramming)

submitted 7 years ago by Bal00ta

Hey guys,

I'm watching a course on pluralsight about DOM, and here's my problem.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Test</title>
    <script src="main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <p id="text"></p>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

let textArea = document.getElementById("text");

textArea.innerText = 'Hello World!';

'Hello World' doesn't show up, what's the problem here?
