There is a variable named button in app.js. Set its value to contain a reference to the button element in index.html wit

You have the right idea, but you just added an extra letter. The code should be:

let button = document.getElementById("sayPhrase");

You need to remove the "s" from "getElementsById" since that's not an actual method.

button = document.getElementById("sayPhrase");

that is the correct way of putting it........because if you try what Thomas said, it will give a an error because of the variable 'button' will be duplicated

I had this question too but my problem was I forgot to include the "", or '' around the id name.

let button = document.getElementById("sayPhrase");

This is the correct answer:

button = document.getElementById("sayPhrase");

let button = document.getElementById('sayPhrase'); let input = document.getElementById('phraseText');

button.addEventListener('click', () => { alert(input.value); });

let button; let input; button = document.getElementById("sayPhrase"); button.addEventListener('click', () => { alert(input.value); });
