Hi Leo Penaloza,

The reason your code isn't working is because the getElementsByTagName method returns an HTMLCollection rather than a single HTMLElemet instance. Instead, you need to access each item like an array by using indexes.

Please see the link below which has a great example about iterating through HTMLCollection's.

Happy coding!
