I tried to change statement and write: toggleList.addEventListener('click', () => { if (listDiv.style.display == 'block') { toggleList.textContent = 'show list'; listDiv.style.display = 'none'; } else { toggleList.textContent = 'hide list'; listDiv.style.display = 'block'; } }); Why isn't working if else statement in this case? Should we use querySelector everywhere as teacher says in this video?

But just looking at this snippet, I don't see anything obviously wrong; but I notice that it depends on the variables "toggleList" and "listDiv", so perhaps they are not being established correctly. Or there could be an issue with the HTML part of the code.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,122 PointsMy main question is what kind of display does list have in this case, because when I tried to equal in if statement { if (listDiv.style.display == 'block') or 'inline-block ' this statement was not equal neither cases.
