Tell us what’s happening:

Don’t get what I’m missing, please help, am doing exactly what Step 6 asks me but it just does not work.

Step 6 asks you to assign a variable using a querySelector, I confirmed my code is doing that by changing the element with (storyContainer.textContent = “test”:wink: but it still does not recognize my answer, pls help me figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Your code so far

let storyContainer = document.querySelector(“.story-container div”);

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Storytelling App</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css" />
</head>

<body>

    <h1>Want to hear a short story?</h1>

    <main class="story-container">
        <div class="btn-container">
            <button class="btn" id="scary-btn">Scary Story</button>
            <button class="btn" id="funny-btn">Funny Story</button>
            <button class="btn" id="adventure-btn">Adventure Story</button>
        </div>
        <p id="result"></p>

you are asked to select the div with the class .story-container, not the div inside .story-container, do you know the difference between those two selectors?

3

Hi, I find the description unclear in that step. Shouldn’t it say

In your JavaScript file, select the element with the class story-container and store it in a variable called storyContainer.

instead?

Because there is no div element with class .story-container at this point
