Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. ....the dreaded no longer passing error....ugh! why!!??!?!

I got the first answer correct and then when I get to the 2nd task it throws me this error. Below is my code, what am I doing wrong?

const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');

document.getElementsByTagName('p').setAttribute("class", "panel");
app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');

document.getElementsByTagName('p').setAttribute("class", "panel");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Dear Greg, getElementsByTagName returns you a collection of elements, not the particular element.

Try to use your newly created element newParagraph instead
