I have a folder with two files each, once the HTML file, and once the JS file to make everything clearer. My problem now is that I try to access an ID within the HTML file with the getElementById but this doesn't seem to work.
var score = 0;
score = score + 1;
document.getElementById("score").outerHTML = score;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Clicker Game</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="design.css">
<script src="code.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Cookies: <span id="score">0</span></p>
<img src="images/cookie.png" height="256px" width="256px">
</body>
</html>
I am trying to call the ID "score" in the HTML file to make sure that when I start the HTML file locally the number changes from 0 to 1.
