Tell us what’s happening:

I would like some help on this step. I get an error message that says:
" Sorry, your code does not pass. You’re getting there.

You should concatenate ' .input-container' to targetId. Remember to include the space at the beginning of .input-container."

What am I missing on this step? Thank you

Your code so far

function addEntry() {
  const targetId = ' .input-container' + entryDropdown.value;
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(targetId);
  
}

Hello @camaguncoso
Originally you had:

const targetId = '#' + entryDropdown.value;

And that doesn’t get changed in any way at this point.

Everything is done on this:

const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(targetId);`

The document.querySelector is missing the concatenation requested with .input-container

I just did this and I get an error message

function addEntry() {
  const targetId = '#' + entryDropdown.value;
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(targetId) + ' .input-container';
}
4

The closing parenthesis after targetId no longer should live there.

Sorry, your code does not pass. You’re getting there.

Your targetInputContainer variable should be set to document.querySelector().

function addEntry() {
  const targetId = '#' + entryDropdown.value;
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector.targetId + ' .input-container';
}

I removed the target parenthesis and error again

Tha parenthesis has to enclose the whole expresseion from “targetId”

The parenthesis need to exist but not how it was.

Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it

Also, this might not be super obvious, but if you see a blank line in the starting code that means you are adding new code to that line. If the challenge was asking you to change the first line it wouldn’t have a blank line after it. Just an FYI.

I will take that into consideration
