it's selecting the correct tag because it spits it out to the console but it does not want to work?
listDiv.addEventListener("mouseover", (e) => {
if(e.target.tagName == 'LI'){
console.log(e.target.tagName);
e.target = e.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
});
listDiv.addEventListener("mouseout", (e) => {
if(e.target.tagName == 'LI'){
console.log(e.target.tagName);
e.target = e.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
});

const listDiv = document.querySelector(".list");

Right now you are redefining the entire e.target object; you need to be more specific. If you add '.textContent' before the = you will have better results.
listDiv.addEventListener("mouseout", (e) => {
if(e.target.tagName == 'LI'){
e.target.textContent = e.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
});
Some methods will return a value you need to store in a new variable (like this one), others will just modify the thing you're calling it on (like document.write()).

19,277 PointsHi Jonathan,
Can you add how you selected the listDiv on your code. That will much help us to understand your problem.
And is there any reason why you have the same condition when you mouseover and mouseout?
Cheers!
