Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,928 PointsHey Mattis Knieling,
I have found a couple of errors on your code. I will list them down:
- It should be
addEventListener
instead ofeventListener
- Remove the last closing bracket from
function parameter
, it should be like this(e)
- You are missing an
arrow
from function after defining parameters. So, add this arrow=>
right after defining(e)
. - Inside a
conditional statement parameter
you should writee
instead ofevent
as that's what you have defined insidefunction parameter
- Instead of
single equal
adda strict equality operator ===
- You have changed the
backgroundColor
toyellow
but you should just leave as it wasrgb(255, 255, 0)
. - And finally right after the
closing curly brace
add aclosing bracket
along with asemicolon
Here's the final version:
let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];
section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
if(e.target.tagName === 'INPUT'){
e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
}
});
Hope this helps!
