Why clearInterval(start) and clearTimeout(a) is not working? Please help me

I have made this code like a celebration of finishing JavaScript Tutorial course, but clearInterval and clearTimeout didn't work with me when the player clicks on "Click here" . https://code.sololearn.com/WrM57oUS98L5/?ref=app

Runs fine for me? Are you getting errors? What exactly are you seeing on your end?

Can you copy/paste the error and line number? It runs without a problem on my side from SoloLearn. If you're getting error though, I can help you figure out why you're getting it on your end.

@Andrew Girder I tried that and it didnt work, he wud have to call all of his click functions thru addEventListener in the window onload I think to make that work @thequestion I think the problem here is you shud set the document.getElementById("yourPelement") piece of the code to a variable, ie. in the JS tab var p1, p2, p3, p4, p5; (etc) in the window.onload = function(){} or in <script> tags right before the closing </body> tag. p5 = document.getElementById("p5").innerHTML; (etc) then rewrite ur script using the variables. they shud be assigned to the DOM after it loads.

? Idk bro.... @Andrew according to w3schools id syntax: "Must contain at least one character Must not contain any space characters In HTML, all values are case-insensitive" Doesn't say no numbers. I use numbers in id in my codes, they work.
