its telling me to filter all but the Input elements but i have input on there

Question

Im still stuck on the same challenge not seeing what i am doing wrong

app.js

let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];
let input = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

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

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
    if (event.target.tagName == 'INPUT') {
  event.target.style.backgroundColor = 'blue';
    }
    });

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <section>

Hi Jacquelyn,

you are close...

Just two little problems:

1) You really want to only have one event listener for this task. So you write your conditional in one of the event listeners and delete the other.

2) In your second event listener you use "e" for the click event parameter, but then later you use "event" to check it. This does not work of course because you have to decide - either you use "e" or "event" (or any other variable name) and then you have to stick to that name... ;-)

Makes sense?

If you correct these two points you will pass the code challenge. If not let me know.

Blessings from Berlin and happy java-scripting, Nils
