The tag name of lastName is span not h1 and also it is getElements on the tag name. So, change...

var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name") ; 
var lastName = document.getElementByTagName("h1")[1];

to

var fullName = document.getElementById("full_name") ; 
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[1];

I was confused how the code you posted seemed identical to the one I used in the challenge. Yet the system didn't accept my answer. Turns out "Elements" plural in the "getElementsByTageName". Just an observation, thanks.
