393 Pointsvar fullName = getElementById('full_name'); is not working - am I misreading the question?
It's not letting me pass this section. Why is it not working?
var fullName = getElementById('full_name');
var lastName;
<!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>

var fullName = document.getElementById('full_name');
var lastName;
