Dropbox StaffBased on your use of 'require', it sounds like you're trying to run this in Node.js. Is that correct?
If so, that would explain the 'document is not defined' error you're seeing, as Node does not offer a 'document' object. The guide was written to run in a browser JavaScript environment, where 'document' is defined natively.
Yes, you must be right. I am using VSCode. And running it with Live Server. I couldn't get it to work otherwise. I must be not running it correctly. Can you give me a hi t on how to run it in the browser as you said? Thanks!
