Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,023 PointsIt keeps saying this is not correct. I can't figure out what I'm missing here.
I believe the code is correct, but maybe i'm missing something here.
let button = document.getElementByID('sayPhrase');
let input;
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert(input.value);
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Phrase Sayer</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><input type="text" id="phraseText"></p>
<p><button id="sayPhrase">Say Phrase</button></p>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

but remember JavaScript is case sensitive.
getElementByID is not the same as getElementById
so just make sure the letter d in Id is not capitalized

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,023 PointsSorry, I forgot to add the question.
There is a variable named button in app.js. Set its value to contain a reference to the button element in index.html with the ID of sayPhrase.
