If you don't use .value you grab input form itself.

4,946 PointsHi. You are looking to grab the value so at the end you need to use .value:
var inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName").value;

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,340 PointsThanks for the clarification, but is ".value" needed go grab the Id using "document.getElementById()" every time? or only during <input> elements and forms?
