Using Microsoft Edge. I receive console error: Object doesn't support property or method 'getElementByID'.

When I key document.getElementByID('myHeading').style.color = 'purple' I receive an error message stating 'Object doesn't support property or method 'getElementByID'. I am using Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome.

Hi there! According to your question you are typing getElementByID, but it should be getElementById. Note the capitalization differences in "ID" and "Id".

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
