Description
The Dev Tools are not displaying elements as described in the documentation. According to the instructions, it should direct me to click on line 4 in hello.js. However, there is no separate line 4; the content (e.g., say(phrase)) is part of the same line, so I can't click on it.
For reference, here is the debugging page from the documentation: JavaScript Info Debugging Page
Here is an image showing on the documentation:
