Stuck on task 1

Hello everyone,

so I am trying this, but it doesn't work:

var removeParagraph = body.removeChild("#please_enable");

Hi Atanas!

Have a look at the variables that have already been assigned in this code challenge.
Could you use one of these instead of "#please_enable" in the call to removeChild ? (hint)

Let me know if you're still stuck :)

Tip: You don't need to assign a new variable for this task, so you can remove var removeParagraph = from your code.

body.removeChild(pleaseEnableParagraph);
