I have a basic js function that connects to my html file. I want the user to input a number and then the function will count up to that number. As it counts it will display a circle with each number. So, input 3 and you'll see three circles counting 1, 2, 3 horizontally on the page.
When I call the function and hard code an input like:
display(9)
it works fine. I console log my user input, I console log as I loop through and it's counting just fine, but for some reason,
const button = document.getElementById("button");
const main = document.querySelector("main");
let number = "";
function display(num) {
for (let i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
console.log("in the loop " + i);
number += `<div>${i}</div>`;
}
}
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
let input = parseInt(document.getElementById("input").value);
console.log(input);
display(input);
});
document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = number;
<h1 class="h1">Test Form</h1>
<input class="input" id="input" type="text" />
<input type="button" id="button" value="Enter" />
<p class="display" id="display"></p>
it won't display anything using user input.
My code is below. Thoughts? And thank you for the help!
document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = number;
this line of code needs to be after for loop.
