Hello. I am having problem with the inspect element thing. When I right click and open Inspect (In google
chrome), where do I paste the script? I am getting HTML code for the page on clicking Inspect, and unable to
paste anything there.
Thank you.

Genius! Thank you. To those struggling with the pasting: on the bottom half of the ‘console’ window that should
appear, you can paste on the bottom line there you’ll see a �ashing cursor line as if it were a text �le.
