The animation challenge has stumped me.
My code is below.
const section = document.getElementById("animateMe");
function startAnimation() { (startAnimation, 2000); document.getElementById = "spin"; })
const section = document.getElementById("animateMe");
function startAnimation() {
//Applies spinning animation to section element
section.className = "spin";
}

function and you can set when the function runs. So just do this:
setTimeout(startAnimation, 2000);
That should work.

I know that I'm doing something wrong.

Treehouse Moderator 11,077 PointsMake sure that you are using the default code within the challenge:
As the code that you showed modified within your question, namely:
function startAnimation() { (startAnimation, 2000); document.getElementById = "spin"; })
Is wrong.
