I'm not really sure what this checkpoint is asking me to do??

I know that I need to use the .val() method, but not sure where or how.

The challenge is asking you to add in code that will allow the h1 tag ($previewTitle) to automatically update as the user is typing into the $titleInput field.

There is already a function (updatePreview()) set up to do this, you just need to put the code that gets the value of the $titleInput into that function so that when the function runs it will grab the value of $titleInput and set the content of $previewTitle to that value.

I've been trying to do this: 

$previewTitle.val(titleValue);

but its not working.
