First, for this challenge don't include GridPane
settings. Second, the property you should be setting is the text
property of the Text field, not the boombox
property.
Post back with further questions.
Happy coding,

5,160 PointsThank you so much Ken. I was thinking that I was declaring a variable, that's why I had changed the name of it. I was thinking that if I had named the field "text" then it would have conflicted with the other field that was names text. Thank you again and Happy coding :)
