Select the <input> element with the ID linkName and store its value in the variable inputValue. (For a refresher on getting the value of a text input, watch this video from the previous section.)

How you pass your ID will vary depending on what function you choose. If you use "querySelector", an ID will need to be prefixed with "#". But for the "getElementById" method, just the ID itself.

For a more specific answer, post the code you're entering.
