I'm facing a problem with the type() function.Its simply not running

Any advice on how to get it rnnning?

Thanks!

A: 

Your function is running, however it's throwing an error because of the function name:

Uncaught TypeError: string is not a function

or in Firefox:

type is not a function

In short, you can't use type as a function name here, you just need to give it a slightly different name, for exampled typed.

Here's your code only changing the function name, working :)

Rename your type function to something else (try somethingElseThanType just to test), and it should work
