Im learning JS. Found a good video “JavaScript Programming – Full Course” and stucked at the 2nd part where I need to use DOM. I have the HTML document, in i refered to the JS file. Other stuff working well, but this:
let messageEL = document.getElementById(“message-el”)
Always get this error:
ReferenceError: document is not defined
I installed live server, and it works one time, than stops.
What can I do, to fix this? Do I need to download some extension? Please tell me the solution as simple as u can Im at the beginning of the learning path.
This is the code and the error

In your screenshot, you’re attempting to run the script using Node.js (the server-side JavaScript executable).
Since you say you’re running live-server, you should be looking at your browser instead, not trying to run your code via Node.
