SoloLearn compiles web codes by putting scripts in JS tab in <head>, so your $("button") is returning null because the button is not rendered yet. Solution is to wrap your scripts in callback of window.onload https://code.sololearn.com/W5AvK6tMvZn9/?ref=app

please don't aim for badge, you cannot take virtual achievements out of this platform. I just downvoted your question with the goodwill to discourage you from falling into psychological traps of evil tech app. for the position of script, let me explain a more fundamental concept : there are different places to put JavaScript tags <script> in a <html> for <script> in <head>, it will run before <body> because <body> is not processed at that moment, so there is no elements such as <button> yet, so your get element methods will fail even for plain JavaScript.

find a Try It Yourself and click it. See the <script> in head?
