First Splash code not working: `guessSubmit.addEventListener('click', checkGuess);`

Hi there,

This error means that the guessSubmit variable contains a value of null, rather than the reference to a submit button input it is supposed to contain. You can't attach an event listener to a value of null, so it throws this error.

So somewhere above this line, you might not be setting the guessSubmit variable's value properly. Do you have this line in the code:

var guessSubmit = document.querySelector('.guessSubmit');

?

And in the HTML, does your submit button input have as class of guessSubmit?

Have another look and see if you can figure this out. If you can't, I'm happy to have a look through your code to help find the error.

Best,

Chris
