You need to wrap your item inside onload method onload = () => { new item("lol"); }

getElementsByClassName returns array of object (class) so if you want to grab class .list then you should need to do this let a = getElementsByClassName(".list") //returns array of class a[0].innerHTML = "some text";

Onload methods indicated that your dom (html) loaded. And if you want any manipulation with html in js code then you need to wrap your code inside onload method

Sumit Programmer😎😎 Cause when I program on pc I put the script tag at bottom as suggested in sololearn and many other platforms as well . Does this mean that sololearns codeplayground does something else
