Task 1 is no longer passing, unless I comment out line 2...

And if I do that, I can't pass the challenge. It all works when I put it in the console. Just curious what I'm missing to pass the challenge

app.js 
var fullName = document.getElementById('full_name');
var lastName = document.getElementByTagName('span')[1];
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1 id="full_name"><span class="first_name">Andrew</span> <span class="last_name">Chalkley</span></h1>

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

Add an "s". Elements

"getElementByTagName" should be "getElement*s*ByTagName"
