7,299 PointsWhen I hover over a list item, it makes them uppercase but the recently added remove button disappears. Why is that?
When I hover over a list item, it makes them uppercase but also lets the remove-button disappears.
Why is that?
I think it's because
taskList.addEventListener('mouseover', (event) => {
if(event.target.tagName === 'LI'){
event.target.textContent = event.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
})
adds also a "textContent" to the button? Eventho its not really added text.
Hmm...
Thanks in advance!
This is my code:
const btnCreate = document.getElementById('btn-main');
const btnToggle = document.querySelector('.btn-toggle');
const btnRemove = document.querySelector('.btn-remove');
const taskList = document.querySelector('.list-container ul');
const listItems = taskList.children;
function attachRemoveButton(li){
let remove = document.createElement('button')
remove.className = 'remove';
remove.textContent = 'Remove';
li.appendChild(remove)
}
for (let i=0; i< listItems.length; i++){
attachRemoveButton(listItems[i]);
};
taskList.addEventListener('click', (event)=>{
if(event.target.tagName === 'BUTTON'){
const button = event.target;
const li = button.parentNode;
li.remove()
}
})
btnCreate.addEventListener('click', () => {
let ul = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
const input = document.querySelector('.input-main');
let li = document.createElement('li');
li.textContent = input.value;
attachRemoveButton(li);
ul.appendChild(li);
input.value = '';
});
document.addEventListener('click',(event)=>{
console.log(event.target);
});
taskList.addEventListener('mouseover', (event) => {
if(event.target.tagName === 'LI'){
event.target.textContent = event.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
})
btnToggle.addEventListener('click', () => {
const listContainer = document.querySelector('.list-container');
if (listContainer.style.display === 'none') {
btnToggle.textContent = 'Hide List';
listContainer.removeAttribute('style');
} else {
btnToggle.textContent = 'Show List';
listContainer.style.display = 'none';
}
});
btnCreate.addEventListener('click', () => {
const input = document.querySelector('.input-main');
const list = document.querySelector('ul');
list.insertAdjacentHTML(
'afterbegin',
`<li>${input.value}</i>`
);
input.value = '';
});

Warning: Setting textContent on a node removes all of the node's children and replaces them with a single text node with the given string value.
What you probably intended was to just replace the content of the text node which is the first child of the list item:
event.target.childNodes[0].textContent = event.target.childNodes[0].textContent.toUpperCase();
