try is not a good name! Change it, and it works ;-)

You can't use names like : try , alert ,function , prompt etc as a function name

Yes indeed, try is reserved, in your SoloLearn it highlights purple, choose a correct name and it changes to white Use this <button onclick ="trybut()">BUTTON</button> and don't forget to change the name of your function to trybut() too
