My code seems to work but treehouse doesnt like it. Am I supposed to address it a different way?

app.js
const laws = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
const indexText = document.getElementById('boldIndex');
const button = document.getElementById('embolden');


button.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
    const index = parseInt(indexText.value, 10);

    for (let i = 0; i < laws.length; i += 1) {
       let law = laws[i];

       // replace 'false' with a correct test condition on the line below
       if (indexText.value == '0' || indexText.value == '1' || indexText.value == '2') {

           law.style.fontWeight = 'bold';
