6,853 PointsUncaught Reference Error in Console
I was following the video, and went to the console to check that my variables were selecting the correct IDs by using document.getElementById("id"). However, when I go to the console(Chrome), I get an Uncaught Reference Error. I rebuilt the variable in the console with the document.get method, and worked fine. See code below.
var taskInput = document.getElementById("new-task"); //new-task
var addButton = document.getElementsByTagName("button")[0]; //first button
var incompleteTaskHolder = document.getElementById("incomplete-tasks"); //incomplete tasks
var completedTasksHolder = document.getElementById("completed-tasks"); //completed tasks
I think it may be something simple that I am not doing, but I don't see it. Please help.
Mod Note - Added backticks and language for formatting and syntax highlighting.

7,966 PointsI know it might seem odd, but make sure that you hit refresh on the app preview itself. I was having the same issue and that fixed it for me. I have noticed that sometimes hitting the preview from Workspace doesn't always refresh the page on the app. Not sure if it's a caching problem or not, but sure seems like it.
I hope that this helps.

6,853 PointsLooks like that did it! Thanks Enrique.

18,814 PointsI didn't get a reference error, but it looks like you've got an extra set of closing curly braces after one the functions - taskCompleted - on about line 45. Should be good to go if you remove one. Happy coding!
var taskCompleted = function(){} // You end the function block here...
} // ...and again down here.

18,814 PointsI don't see anything obviously wrong with the lines you've posted. It would be helpful if you could post a workspace snapshot of your full code, and we'll see if we can't figure out what the problem is.
