We've got a select box that's used to navigate to a new page on the "change" event and record some analytics. We want two event handlers to fire, fix lines 14 and 15 so that both of the handlers trigger on "change" rather than just the last function assigned to onchange.
My code:
navigationSelect.addEventListener("change", navigateToValue); navigationSelect.addEventListener("change", sendAnalytics);
//Select select box
var navigationSelect = document.getElementById("nav");
//Navigate to URL when select box is changed
var navigateToValue = function() {
window.location = this.value;
}
//Send analytics data
var sendAnalytics = function() {
//Placeholder
}
navigationSelect.addEventListner("change", navigateToValue);
navigationSelect.addEventListner("change", sendAnalytics);

Treehouse TeacherIt would work, but you've managed to misspell "Listener". You've typed "Listner" in both rows. Try cleaning up the spelling, then try again. Here's what you need:
navigationSelect.addEventListener("change", navigateToValue);
navigationSelect.addEventListener("change", sendAnalytics);
