Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 19,486 PointsCan someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong for this step? I'm getting a type error. Thanks!
it's asking me to declare a variable and attach it to the button element by its ID.
The error is on line 3.
// Complete the challenge by writing JavaScript below
const button = document.getElementByID('btn-phrase');
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert(input.value);
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Phrase Sayer</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><label for="input-phrase">Type a phrase</label></p>
<p><input type="text" id="input-phrase"></p>
<p><button id="btn-phrase">Say Phrase</button></p>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The issue you’re running into is really more of a syntax/spelling/capitalization error. In your getElementById element, your “d” should be lowercase. By capitalizing the “D” in “ID”, the proper method can’t be found.
