I don't understand why this isn't working. I receive the message "Bummer: Make sure that you get the value of the selected 'input' element."
var inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName");
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>DOM Manipulation</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<body>
<div id="content">
<label>Link Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="linkName">
<a id="link" href="https://teamtreehouse.com"></a>
</div>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>

You need to use value property
to retrieve a value from the input.
var inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName").value;
Hope this helps!
