Hey Kwame,

The challenge wants you to add a condition to change the background of <input> elements only. You've got the right idea by starting an if statement inside the event listener, but you need to give it a condition and wrap the statement inside in curly braces:

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  if (CONDITION) {
    e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
  }
});

Replace CONDITION in the above example with a condition that checks if the event target's tagName is 'INPUT'.

Let me know how you go and if you have any questions.
