confused

what am i missing?

i translated document.querySelector('.profile-header').style.display = 'none';

into jquery and added the .hide();

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header">Student <span>Profile</span></h1>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('profile-header')
.style.display = "none"
.hide();

There are two edits needed here to make your code pass the challenge:

  • You need the string '.profile-header' in your selector rather than 'profile-header'. The . is to indicate that it is a class name.
  • You can get rid of the .style.display="none" part - the .hide() function is all that you need to achieve the same result.
