I rewatched the video and copied it over, but it is still not making sense. What am I doing wrong?
let inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName");
linkName.addEventListener('click', () => {
inputValue.style.color = linkName.value;
});

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,638 PointsYou are setting event listener to 'linkName' which you have not defined anywhere..
In order to set eventListener to any element , you must have to select it first.
Hope it helps :)
Also , within the 'inputValue' variable , you are just selecting the 'input' element . In order to select the 'value' of 'input' elelment , you have to select it's value like this --
let inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName").value;
