Hello! Thank you in advance for your help! I am not sure what I am missing in my code. I am using document.querySelectorAll('input') to select the input elements and I am receiving an error.
const inputValue = document.querySelectorAll('input');
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>DOM Manipulation</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<body>
<div id="content">
<label for="linkText">Link Text:</label>
<input type="text" id="linkText" value="sample text">
<p class="info"></p>
</div>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

- this code is selecting a collection of input elements instead of just the one
- after correct selection, you should assign its value to the variable and not a reference to the element itself
