- span is not the 2nd span it's the first one, so it should be ("span") [0] with no space. If that works click best answer.

25,513 PointsI could have made it more clear in my question but i was attempting to access last_name which is the 2nd instance of "span" so
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[1];
is correct.
