Tell us what’s happening:

You should pass the string input[type=“text”] to the querySelectorAll() method.

Pass the string input[type=“text”] to the querySelectorAll() method. This will return a NodeList of all the text inputs in the form. You can then access the length property of the NodeList

function addEntry() {
const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(#${entryDropdown.value} .input-container);
const entryNumber = targetInputContainer.querySelectorAll(‘input[type=“text”]’.length);
}

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

function addEntry() {
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(`#${entryDropdown.value} .input-container`);
  const entryNumber = targetInputContainer.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"]'.length);
}

// User Editable Region

/* file: styles.css */

Hi @sweetmelissa235

You should pass the string input[type="text"] to the querySelectorAll() method.

The hint message will guide you on the next issue.

Happy coding

would it not pass through with querySelectorAll(‘input[type=“text”])’

I figured it out. the last part at the end was within the parenthesis and should have been outside. I was doing the pass through correctly. sometimes the error messages confuse me.
