Select the <input> element with the ID linkName and store its value in the variable inputValue.

The quiz does not evaluate my answer correctly. Not able to get what else needs to be done.

app.js 
var inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">
            <label>Link Name:</label>
            <input type="text" id="linkName">
            <a id="link" href="https://teamtreehouse.com"></a>
        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

linkName is a input element so you can store its value(text, number etc ) with .value 

var inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName").value;
