Task no. 1 no longer passing?

for task 1 I did: var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name");

which passed initially then when i went to task no. 2 and added the line var lastName = document.getElementByTagName("span")[1]; it says that task one is no longer passing. Any Ideas?

app.js 
var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name");
var lastName  = document.getElementByTagName("span")[1];
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1 id="full_name"><span class="first_name">Andrew</span> <span class="last_name">Chalkley</span></h1>

<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Never mind, figured it out. I misspelled "getElementsByTagName()" in my code i accidentally omitted the "s" in Elements. the error message in the challenge was not very helpful.
