By checking Checkbox1, text1 appears. By checking Checkbox2, text2 is shown. Now, I want to display text3 when BOTH chechboxes are checked, but don’t know how to do it… Any help, please? * ```

I suspect two commands are being applied at the same time. * Please, follow the link below and check all the boxes Then, leaving the last one checked, uncheck the 3rd one, the 2nd one and so on to see what I mean: * [http://jijaua.byethost14.com/proba/](http://jijaua.byethost14.com/proba/) * This is the code: * ```

This is sentence 1.


Show sentence 2
Show sentence 3
Show sentence 4
Apply b to any sentence

Among the problems in your code is that you are using variables without previously setting the value, such as “text1” in your “myFunction1”.
