Hi @jfac2420

The input element is not in the body of the function.

Happy coding

inside of the body of the function and it is still not working

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" />
}

The input element needs to go on a new line before the second backtick.

I edited your previous post so the code formats correctly on the page.

do you see something wrong here?
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>;

}

it is still not working
