Hi,charlie alton to complete this it said add a condition.That tells us if statements.To complete add the following

let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
if(e.target.tagName === "INPUT")
  e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
});

Hope that helps😃
