Learn Form Validation by Building a Calorie Counter - Step 37

[southerlinc]

Tell us what’s happening: Instructions have too much wordiness and make absolutely no sense. I don’t even know where begin. After several hours guessing my way with vague and implied instructions, my code is listed below.

Your code so far

function addEntry() {

const targetId = document.getElementById(‘#entry-dropdown.value’);

}

Hint: you don’t want to use “document.getElementById”. Instead you want to put the # in a string before the value of entryDropdown.

const targetId = "#" + entryDropdown.value ;
