Interactive Website w/ Javascript code challenge help fix my code

What is wrong with my code here:

var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name") ; var lastName = document.getElementByTagName("h1")[1];

1 Answer

The tag name of lastName is span not h1 and also it is getElements on the tag name. So, change...

var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name") ; 
var lastName = document.getElementByTagName("h1")[1];

to

var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name") ; 
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[1];

perfect. Thanks i got stuck!

You are welcome

I was confused how the code you posted seemed identical to the one I used in the challenge. Yet the system didn't accept my answer. Turns out "Elements" plural in the "getElementsByTageName". Just an observation, thanks.

Zakher Masri yeah, that needs to be in plural :) you are welcome.
