I'm doing the Odin Project and am stuck on an exercise.
The requirement is that I have to add specific elements to a container in the HTML file but I can't get the following sections to show up at all when I run it:
a <div>
with a black border and pink background color with the following elements inside of it:
another <h1>
that says “I’m in a div”
a <p>
that says “ME TOO!”
Hint for this one: after creating the <div>
with createElement, append the <h1>
and <p>
to it before adding it to the container.
Here's my code https://codepen.io/mohd057/pen/KKQWdYV
const container = document.querySelector('#container');
const myP = document.createElement("p");
myP.style.color = "red";
myP.textContent = "Hey I'm red!";
const myH = document.createElement("h3")
myH.style.color = "blue";
myH.textContent = "I'm a blue h3!";
container.appendChild(myP);
container.appendChild(myH);
const myDiv = document.createElement("div");
myDiv.setAttribute('style', 'border: black; background: pink;');
const anotherH = document.createElement("h1");
anotherH.textContent = "I'm in a div";
const anotherP = document.createElement("p");
anotherP.textContent = "ME TOO!";
container.appendChild(myDiv);
Here's the link to the exercise https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-dom-manipulation-and-events (struggling on questions 3, 1, and 2 are fine)
Would love to know where I'm going wrong.
CodePudding user response:
What is missing:
border
needs a border-style property to show- background's color property is called
background-color
otherwise you have to define it like this - You didn't append any element inside
myDiv
const container = document.querySelector('#container');
const myP = document.createElement("p");
myP.style.color = "red";
myP.textContent = "Hey I'm red!";
const myH = document.createElement("h3")
myH.style.color = "blue";
myH.textContent = "I'm a blue h3!";
container.appendChild(myP);
container.appendChild(myH);
const myDiv = document.createElement("div");
myDiv.setAttribute('style', 'border: black solid; background-color: pink;');
const anotherH = document.createElement("h1");
anotherH.textContent = "I'm in a div";
const anotherP = document.createElement("p");
anotherP.textContent = "ME TOO!";
myDiv.appendChild(anotherH);
myDiv.appendChild(anotherP);
container.appendChild(myDiv);
