"Select the H1 tag with the !!id!! of !!!full_name!!! and assign it to the variable fullName on line 1. Take a look in the index.html to see the structure of the document.

Meaning you have to select the h1 tag by it's ID.

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

This should do the trick. Let me know.

Cheers
