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

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

Hi there, robert allen ! You're doing terrific! You're off by literally one character. The event.target does not have a property of tagname. It does, however, have a property of tagName. Note the capitalization on the "N" in "Name".

Hope this helps!
