You don't have / var email = taskListItem.querySelector("button.delete") line commented out properly. You only have one forward slash instead of two.

Also, you haven't defined currentTaskHolder but you're using it in your for loop.

yes .. I ve worked a bit at code and now I have . I CAN T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE WORK CREATE BUTON AND DELETE BUTON .

<html><head> <title> newTodo App</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8">

</head> <body> <div class="container"> <p> <label for="new-task">Add Item</label><input id="new-task" type="text"><button>Add</button> </p>

  <h3>Todo</h3>
  <ul id="current-tasks">
    <li><label> Learn </label><button class="delete">Delete</button></li>
    <li><label>Read</label><button class="delete">Delete</button></li>

  </ul>    

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/app.js"></script>

</body></html>

<SCRIPT> var taskInput = document.getElementById("new-task"); //new-task var addButton = document.getElementsByTagName("button")[0]; //first button var cTasksHolder = document.getElementById("current-tasks"); //current-tasks var delButton= document.getElementsByClassName("delete");

    //Add a new task
    var addTask = function() {
      console.log("Add task...");
      //When the button is pressed
      //Create a new list item with the text from #new-task:
      //input (checkbox)
        //label
        //button.delete
        //Each elements, needs modified and appended
    }

    //Delete an existing task
    var deleteTask = function() {
      console.log("Delete task...");
      //When the Delete button is pressed
        //Remove the parent list item from the ul
    }

    //Set the click handler to the addTask function
    addButton.onclick = addTask;
    delButton.onclick = deleteTask;

    //cycle cTasksHolder ul list 
     //for Each list item
         // select its childern 
         //bind deleteTask to delete button 

    //var cTasksHolderChildren = cTasksHolder.children;
    for (var i = 0; i < cTasksHolder.children.length; i++) {
        console.log(cTasksHolder.children[i]);
        // NOTE: elementChildren is a live list, adding or removing children from pEl
        // will change the members of elementChildren immediately
      deleteTask(cTasksHolder.children[i]);
    }
