Below is my code. I am trying to generate a random hex color that will replace the background color when my button is clicked but I can't get it to work.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Color Changer</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
<button id="newColor">Click Me</button>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
scripts.js
const btn = document.getElementById("newColor");
btn.addEventListener("click", function onClick(event) {
let randColor = "#" + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
document.body.style.backgroundColor = randColor;
});

<body>
<h1>
<button id="newColor">Click Me</button>

// or include here

</html>
window.onload = function () {
const btn = document.getElementById("newColor");
btn.addEventListener("click", function onClick(event) {
let randColor = "#" + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
document.body.style.backgroundColor = randColor;
});
};
the code is working is your js code is after the HTML tag?
const btn = document.getElementById("newColor");
btn.addEventListener("click", function onClick(event) {
let randColor = "#" + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
document.body.style.backgroundColor = randColor;
}); <h1>
<button id="newColor">Click Me</button>
</h1>
