Courses Plus Student 7,482 PointsDifferences in Console returning "Bind list item events" using Chrome 64bit vs 32bit, and editButton failing to bind
I have 2 questions pertaining to this video. I have been working on Chrome 64 bit however I noticed that after completing this video, I was only returning 2 list item events using the console. However after I switched to Chrome 32bit I was able to return all 3. I haven't returned any errors so it has been difficult to determine if this is an issue of compatibility or an issue with my code.
In addition currently the delete button, add button, and check boxes are all returning the console.log, however the editButton is not working when I hit it and not returning anything. I'm not sure what the problem is here as I have been trying to figure it out testing it and I haven't been able to get it to work. It is not returning anything when the button is pressed, no error or console.log.
//Problem: User interaction doesn't provide desired results
//Solution: Add interactivity so the user can manage daily tasks

var completedTasksHolder = document.getElementById("completed-tasks"); //ul id=completed-tasks
//******Functions******//

console.log("Add task...");
//When the button is pressed
//Create a new list item with the text from #new-task:
//input (checkBox)

//button.edit
//button.delete
//Each elements, needs modified and appended
}
//Edit an existing task (toggle .editMode)
var editTask = function() {
console.log("Edit task...");
//When the edit button is pressed
//if the class of the parent is .editMode
//Switch from .editMode
//label text become the input's value
//else
//Switch to .editMode
//input value becomes the label's text
//Toggle .editMode on the parent
}
//Delete an existing task
var deleteTask = function() {
console.log("Delete task...");
//When the Delete button is pressed
//Remove the parent list item from the ul
}
//Mark a task as complete

}
//Mark a task as incomplete
var taskIncomplete = function() {

//DRY Code = best practice = Don't repeat yourself
var bindTaskEvents = function(taskListItem, checkBoxEventHandler) {
console.log("Bind list item events");
//Select listItem's children
var checkBox = taskListItem.querySelector("input[type=checkbox]");
var editButton = taskListItem.querySelector("button.edit");
var deleteButton = taskListItem.querySelector("button.delete");
//bind checkBoxEventHandler to the checkbox
checkBox.onchange = checkBoxEventHandler;
//bind editTask to edit button
editButton.onlick = editTask;
//bind deleteTask to delete button
deleteButton.onclick = deleteTask;
}
//Set the click Handler to the add task function
addButton.onclick = addTask;
//Cycle over incompleteTasksHolder ul list items
for (var i = 0; i < incompleteTasksHolder.children.length; i++) {
//bind events to list item's children (taskCompleted)
bindTaskEvents(incompleteTasksHolder.children[i], taskCompleted);
}
//Cycle over completedTasksHolder ul list items
for (var i = 0; i < completedTasksHolder.children.length; i++) {
//bind events to list item's children (taskIncomplete)
bindTaskEvents(completedTasksHolder.children[i], taskIncomplete);
}

I believe the errors you're seeing are because the "onclick" handler on your editButton under the bindTaskEvents function is currently "onlick", which would be an interesting event handler to see! haha Try adding that c in there to make it click and see what happens. :)

Courses Plus Student 7,482 PointsWow I can't believe I missed that I tried retyping it and missed it again too. I should have stuck to autocomplete. Thank you for the help.
