800 PointsI am not sure what is not working here $('button').click(function() { const nameName = $('#name-input').val(); });
I don't know why it's not working it's the same as the example??
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2 class="profile-name">Treasure Porth</h2>
<p class="profile-text">I am a web developer!</p>
<label>Change name:<input id="name-input" type="text"></label>
<button>Change</button>
<script
src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
$('button').click(function() {
const nameName = $('#name-input').val();
});

, but you created a constant named nameName
. While it's apparently not necessary to use let
over const
, for this challenge, it's a good idea to stay consistent and know the difference between the two.
$('button').click(function() {
let newName = $('#name-input').val();
});
Happy coding!

28,407 PointsAgreed Steven. It's the wording of the challenge that should be in question.
