Tell us what’s happening:

It shows syntax error when i try to add new input.
function addEntry() {
const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(#${entryDropdown.value} .input-container);
const entryNumber = targetInputContainer.querySelectorAll(‘input[type=“text”]’).length;
const HTMLString = `
Entry ${entryNumber} Name

}

Your code so far

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


/* file: styles.css */


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

function addEntry() {
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(`#${entryDropdown.value} .input-container`);
  const entryNumber = targetInputContainer.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"]').length;
  const HTMLString = `
  <label for="${entryDropdown.value}-${entryNumber}-name">Entry ${entryNumber} Name</label>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name" id="${entryDropdown.value}-${entryNumber}-name"/>
}

// User Editable Region

What error are you getting?

3

SyntaxError: unknown: Unterminated template. (24:97) 22 | const HTMLString = ` 23 | Entry ${entryNumber} Name</label/n> > 24 | Entry ${entryNumber} Name /> | ^ 25 | }

You’re missing your closing string symbol. It thinks everything after the input element is part of the HTMLString variable.

This is a proper string.

var myString = `Some text here`

Hope this helps.
