stage 3 challenge task 1 of 1

Take a look around the html and js files. Line 5 of app.js is incorrect. listItems should be the children of the navigation unordered list. Fix it.

app.js 
//Select the naviagation
var navigation = document.getElementById("navigation");

//Select all listItems from the navigation
 var anchor = listItem.querySelector("a");

//When a navigation link is pressed
var linkListener = function() {
  console.log("Listener is clicked!");
}

var bindEventsToLinks = function(listItem) {
  //Select the anchor
  var anchor = listItem;
  //Bind the linkListener to the anchor element (a) 
  anchor.onclick = linkListener;
}

for(var i = 0; i < listItems.length ; i++) {
    bindEventsToLinks(listItems[i]);
}

<ul id="navigation">

    <a href="#about">About</a>
  </li>

Maybe you already figured it out, but here's code just in case...

var listItems = navigation.children;
