139 PointsWhy is task 1 no longer passing?
In the previous slide task 1 one was running ok, and isn't anymore. I don't understand why task 2 broke task 1
var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name");
var lastName = document.getElementByClassName("last_name")[1];
<!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>

Courses Plus Student 10,715 PointsCode technically not correct. Arrays starts with [0]. There is no ("last_name")[1] element. Hope it will resolve the problem you have now.

14,268 PointsThe task is asking you to "select the second SPAN element". So instead of using getElementsByClassName, you'll use getElementsByTagName to target the span instead of the class.
(I think your code is technically correct but the challenges are looking for very specific code in order to pass)
