getQuote()
only obtains the quote, it doesn’t display it on the page. This is the code that displays it on the page:
document.getElementById("quoteDisplay").innerHTML = getQuote();
An idea would be to create a new function, displayQuote()
, that will get the quote and then display it to the page, and call that when clicking the generate button.
function displayQuote() {
document.getElementById("quoteDisplay").innerHTML = getQuote();
}
<button id="generate" class="generate" onclick="displayQuote()">Generate</button>
Whenever I refresh the page, the getQuote function works (meaning a new quote is displayed).
However, I would like to get a new quote whenever the user clicks on the Generate Button.
I have a randomQuotes array with 10 quotes typed in.
<button id="generate" class="generate" onclick = "getQuote()">Generate</button>
<script type=text/javascript>
randomQuotes = [...];
function getQuote() {
let randomQuoteNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
return randomQuotes[randomQuoteNumber];
}
document.getElementById("quoteDisplay").innerHTML = getQuote();
</script>
Thanks so much for the code and explanation. It worked!
