Inner HTML not working (SOLVED)

Coding Help
1

I am trying to make a script that will create a button however it doesn’t seem to be working, I followed a tutorial and it worked there but I can’t seem to recreate it in glitch.
This is what I have so far but it is not working

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      document.body.innerHTML = '<button>New Button</button>';
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    
  </body>
</html>
2

Try use document.documentElement.innerHTML = '<button>New Button</button>';

Hey @Cohen_S_Erickson,

The body element you’re trying to call will not exist during the execution of the script. You can either move the <script> tag towards the closing <body> tag like this or trigger the script on window.onload()!

Hope this helps!
