Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,552 PointsHi i got the solution to the error. To solve this error, i had to make sure that the <script> tag comes after the element that i wanted to select. Thanks

Are you sure it exists in the HTML? Or that you have saved all the files in your workspace/text editor. :-)
