12,847 Pointstemp.js is ok.. I have an "app.js:33 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null at app.js:33"
I get that error in the console log. my temp.js seems to be OK, so far. so, what am i missing on line 33?
const toggleList = document.getElementById('toggleList');
const listDiv = document.querySelector('.list');
const descriptionInput = document.querySelector('input.description');
const descriptionP = document.querySelector('p.description');
const descriptionButton = document.querySelector('button.description');
const addItemInput = document.querySelector('input.addItemInput');
const addItemButton = document.querySelector('button.addItemButton');
const removeItemButton = document.querySelector('button.removeItemButton');
toggleList.addEventListener('click', () => {
if (listDiv.style.display == 'none') {
toggleList.textContent = 'Hide list';
listDiv.style.display = 'block';
} else {
toggleList.textContent = 'Show list';
listDiv.style.display = 'none';
}
});
descriptionButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
descriptionP.innerHTML = descriptionInput.value + ':';
descriptionInput.value = '';
});
addItemButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
let li = document.createElement('li');
li.textContent = addItemInput.value;
ul.appendChild(li);
addItemInput.value = '';
});
removeItemButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
let li = document.querySelector('li:last-child');
ul.removeChild(li);
});

Treehouse TeacherHey Amy Tomey have you changed the HTML? I'm not getting any error for that eventListener but that error usually means the selector isn't selecting anything
