Save button not working

Hi all,

Everything works on the code for this video for me except the save button...any suggestions? It seems to exactly match what Guil has in the video, but maybe i'm missing something?

else if (button.textContent === "save") {
      //select the input of changed name text
      const input = li.firstElementChild;
      //create span element to replace the input with
      const span = document.createElement("span");
      span.textContent = input.value;
      //place new span element before the input & then remove the child input
      li.insertBefore(span, input);
      li.removeChild(input);
      //set button text to "Edit" after clicking save
      button.textContent = "Edit";
    }

Thanks!

Brendan

Text comparisons are case-sensitive. Perhaps the test for "save" doesn't work because the legend on the button is "Save" (with a capital "S")?
