I think my approach is wrong. Some guidance please?

Question

I went back and watched the video and I am still getting it wrong.

app.js

let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];
let input = document.getElementByTagName('input')[0];

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
});

input.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
  if (event.target.tagName == 'INPUT') {
  event.target.textContent.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
      }
});

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <section>
            <h1>Making a Webpage Interactive</h1>
            <p>JavaScript is an exciting language that you can use to power web servers, create desktop programs, and even control robots. But JavaScript got its start in the browser way back in 1995.</p>

On your second line you are missing an "s" on getElementByTagName

var input = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); var i = 0; for (i=0; i< input.length; i++) {

input[i].addEventListener('click', function() {

this.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';

});

};
