Solution 1 :

dataset is the entire data set, i.e. the result of all data-* attributes on the element or properties set via the element data API.

You need to reach into it and get the property you need. In short, change

var homeC = navI.dataset

to

var homeC = navI.dataset.home

Also be aware that these days var is not recommended; use let or const.

[EDIT]

Since you know say the home element has the ID “home”, not the class “home”, you need:

document.querySelector('#'+homeC);

Problem :

I’m new to javascript And facing a little issue,
I hope I will get the solution here

I have a nav Item with a data like this

<button data-home="home" class="nav-item"></button>

I did select the button element as a var and got its dataset

var navI = document.querySelector('.nav-item')

var homeC = navI.dataset

And then I wanted to set this item as a class to select a new element

new element,

<div class="home"></div>

And placed the dataset like this to select the element

var pageHome = document.querySelecter('.' + homeC)

But pageHome comes with a null element

Pls pass me a solution if possible
