This should come before the = sign, and after it, you should assign the msg property of the current object to it.

3

So i do
document.getElementById(obj.inputVal).textContent = msg;?

4

Almost. You need the msg property of the current object though, not just msg. You can access this property with dot notation.

5

can you give me some hints like the property name i am not getting it.

6

You access the inputVal property with obj.inputVal… so you access the msg property how?

7

i know how to access the property but i can’t remember/find what property does msg has or have. please give me hint like what that property does, or where is the reference to that property

8

The property is msg. The current object is obj. You need to assign the msg property of the obj object after the =.
You access this value in exactly the same way as you accessed the inputVal property of obj, using dot notation.
Sorry if this isn’t clear enough but I’m not sure how else to explain it without just telling you the solution.

I can’t thank you enough. I thought msg has a property not the msg was the property.
