You're missing the 'n' in 'Element'
getElementById()
is written in camel case, check your capitalization and make sure it matches
You'll need to use the value property to access the value of the input -- the video linked in the question is a good refresher if you're having trouble with this part
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
The key takeaway of the video is that a text input has a value property which stores the text that has been entered in to it.
This will select the element:
document.getElementById('linkName');
Add the property value to retrieve the text stored inside the input element:
document.getElementById('linkName').value;
