    copied!<p>I took out a BUNCH of your code and tried to clean it up.</p> <p>Also, I want to point out that I butchered the crap of HTML5, as I see you are just learning. There are some BAD practices in this code, but for what you are trying to accomplish I think/hope you can gleam the import bits out with adopting this as dogma (I got lazy!).</p> <p>Some things to be aware of:</p> <ol> <li>JavaScript is CaSeSeNsItIvE. So if you start calling variables "clickcounter" and then try to reference as "clickCounter" you'll run into a bunch of errors.</li> <li>The code I provided below: I mixed CSS in the HTML, and HTML (poor choice of tags) in the JavaScript. I see you had a CSS file, well - yeah, you didn't post it so I didn't have access to it. So I just took it out and added colors throughout. </li> <li>Remember the power of <code>console.log("your messages goes here");</code>. It's a poor mans debugger/manhole into what your code is doing at any one time. Use it while you learn so you can see what the expected values are (FYI: most browsers have "developer tools" -- if you are using Chrome, then hit <code>F12</code> -- this way you can SEE the CONSOLE messages (and the ERRORS in your JavaScript as you run it).</li> <li>Don't be afraid to use functions heavily. It's a great way to organize your code and force yourself to pick up good practices.</li> </ol> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;HTML&gt; &lt;HEAD&gt; &lt;script&gt; function clickCounter() { if(typeof(Storage)!=="undefined"){ if (localStorage.clickCount){ localStorage.clickCount=Number(localStorage.clickCount)+1; updateResults(); console.log("Added +1 to Click Count! New value: " + localStorage.clickCount); goldStarNotification(); } else{ clickCounterReset(); // Set the click-counter to 0 updateResults(); } } } function updateResults(){ var myCounter = localStorage.clickCount; document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "You have clicked the button " + myCounter + " time(s)."; } function clickCounterReset(){ console.log("The reset was hit!"); localStorage.clickCount=0; updateResults(); } function goldStarNotification(){ if (localStorage.clickCount == 10){ console.log("You WIN!!! ZOMG!"); document.getElementById("starNotification").innerHTML = "&lt;center&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Successfully reached Level 10!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/center&gt;"; } } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/HEAD&gt; &lt;BODY class="body" bgcolor="black", onLoad="clickCounterReset()"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;div id="starNotification" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;center&gt; &lt;div class="noLight"&gt; &lt;div class="pointlessbutton" style="cursor: pointer;" onClick="clickCounter()"&gt; &lt;font color="white" size="4"&gt;+1&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="pointlessbutton" style="cursor: pointer;" onClick="clickCounterReset()"&gt; &lt;font color="white" size="4"&gt;Reset&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="result" style="color: white;"&gt;Hey! Update me! :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/center&gt; &lt;/BODY&gt; &lt;/HTML&gt; </code></pre>
