Why is this incorrect? It keeps saying task 1 is incorrect when I try to set the value of input

Thank you!

js/app.js 
let button = document.getElementById('sayPhrase');
let input = document.getElementbyID('phraseText');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Phrase Sayer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p><input type="text" id="phraseText"></p>
    <p><button id="sayPhrase">Say Phrase</button></p>
    <script src="js/app.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

I noticed the d was capitalized in id, and i changed that, and it still says task 1 is no longer passing. Do i have to edit task 1 as a part of task 2?

Hey, it also looks like by in 'getElementbyId' isn't capitalized. Give that a shot and see if it starts working.

I retyped it and it worked :) Didn't notice that. Thank You Joel.
