Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 18,941 PointsFor task #1. Why getElementsByTagName doesn't work in this case?
const title = document.getElementsByTagName('h1');
title.textContent = "Lorem Ipsum";

Treehouse Project ReviewerHello Michal,
The getElementsByTagName() method returns a collection of all elements in the document with the specified tag name, as an HTMLCollection object.
So if you wanted to use that method over querySelector then you would have to add an [0] to the end of the the getElementsByTagName() like so:
const title = document.getElementsByTagName('h1')[0];
title.textContent = "Lorem Ipsum";

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 18,941 PointsThanks Juan! I also figured out this is workin:
const title = document.getElementsByTagName('h1'); for (let i = 0; i < title.length; i++) { title[i].textContent = "Lorem Ipsum"; }But of course that is totally wet not dry solution! Cheers, and thanks one more time!
