Why is it only hiding the first element and not all?

The code is only hiding the first element not all elements:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="myHeading">JavaScript and the DOM</h1>
    <p>Making a web page interactive</p>

                          <div class="list">



    <p class="description">Things that are purple:</p>
    <button id="toggleList">Hide List</button>
    <input type="text" class="description">
    <button class="description">Change list description</button>
    <ul>
      <li>grapes</li>
      <li>amethyst</li>
      <li>lavender</li>
      <li>plums</li>
    </ul>
                            </div>


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

The div should be correct placed.

const input = document.querySelector('input');
const p = document.querySelector('p.description');
const button = document.querySelector('button');
const toggleList = document.getElementById("toggleList");
const list = document.querySelector("list");


toggleList.addEventListener("click", () => {


     list.style.display = "none";                      


                           });
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
  p.innerHTML = input.value + ':';
});

I even tried. document.querySelectorAll("list"); The only item that is hiden, is the first element
<p class="description">Things that are purple:</p>

That would work for hiding the entire div element. I thought you were asking about how to hide all the list items.

The term "list" is not a valid HTML tag name. The correct tag name for the unordered list is "ul".

That doesn't solve the issue. Also in the video the class in the HTML used is = "list", but that seem to work, only in the video.
