Build a simple web server that handles any URL

@KatieMFritz Can you take a look at this? It's hosted here and meets the following criteria:

• [x] At every URL, you respond with HTML, starting with an h1 element (though for this project, it doesn't have to be a complete HTML page)
• [x] When a user visits /, they see a greeting
• [x] When a user visits /random-joke, they see one of at least three knock-knock jokes (Math.random() may be useful 😉)
• [x] When a user visits /cuteness, they see a picture of a cute animal (I'm sure you can find one on the Internet 😛)
• [x] At every other URL, display an error page (if you want to make it funny, see these examples for inspiration)
• [x] The error page includes the requested URL, similar to Google's error page
• [x] Every page that is not the homepage (/) contains a link to it

Hi @zhezixi, this is great! Your homepage, cuteness page, and error pages are all working flawlessly. Nice! 🎉

I have one recommendation to improve your random joke page:

Use === to compare values in an if condition

Your if conditions are using the assignment (=) operator instead of the comparison (===) operator:

if (randomNumber = 1)
else if (randomNumber = 2)

This is resulting in the same joke displaying every time I visit the page. Would you mind switching those assignment operators to comparison operators so different jokes show up?

After you’ve made your changes and pushed them to GitHub and your hosted site, give it a once-over to make sure it looks right, then comment back here and I’ll take another look.

Thanks! 🍿

Just fixed!

Perfect! I can see a different random joke each time I refresh the page now. Good work! 🤘 :shipit:
