4,512 PointsCan't get my edit button to log to console
I haven't modified the html at all from his.
const form = document.getElementById('registrar'); // ID the form so you can attach an eventlistener to it //
const input = form.querySelector('input'); //
// moved from initial function to here //
var ul = document.getElementById('invitedList');
function createLI(text) {
var li = document.createElement('li');
li.textContent = text;
const label = document.createElement('label');
label.textContent = "Confirmed";
const checkbox = document.createElement('input');
checkbox.type = 'checkbox';
label.appendChild(checkbox);
li.appendChild(label);
// add edit buttons //
const editButton = document.createElement('button');
editButton.textContent = 'Edit';
li.appendChild(editButton);
// add remove buttons //
const removeButton = document.createElement('button');
removeButton.textContent = 'remove';
li.appendChild(removeButton);
return li;
}
form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
var text = input.value;
input.value = '';
// var ul = document.getElementById('invitedList'); // move to top to move to global scope so it can be accessed for other function //
const li = createLI(text);
ul.appendChild(li);
});
// if checkbox is changed, then add a classname with specific CSS properties to that item so it's highlighted //
ul.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
// console.log(e.target.checked); // checkboxes have value of checked - true or false
const checkbox = e.target;
const checked = checkbox.checked;
const listItem = checkbox.parentNode.parentNode;
if (checked === true) {
listItem.className = 'responded';
} else {
listItem.className = '';
}
});
// remove list item when 'remove' button is pushed //
ul.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
if (e.target.tagName === 'BUTTON') {
const button = e.target;
const li = button.parentNode;
const ul = li.parentNode;
if (button.textContent === 'remove') {
ul.removeChild(li);
} else if (button.textContent === 'edit') {
console.log('edit');
}
}
});

54,971 PointsYou have set the textContent here with an uppercase E:
editButton.textContent = 'Edit';
but here you check a lowercase e
else if (button.textContent === 'edit') {
console.log('edit');
Make them the same case and you should be good
