I’m trying to make a single web page with p5.js, but at some moment I create an input and the value of the input I want to transform into a html tag (more specifically ‘h3’). I already tried the “.html()” as this example: [examples | p5.js], but for some reason this doesn’t work in my context. I’ll let my code below:
let inputName, bttName, yourName;
function setup() {
let inputDiv = createDiv();
inputDiv.id("input-section");
inputDiv.parent("sobre");
inputName = createInput();
inputName.addClass("input-name");
inputName.parent("input-section");
bttName = createButton('enter');
bttName.addClass('btt-name');
bttName.parent("input-section");
bttName.mousePressed(sendName);
}
function sendName() {
let userName = inputName.value();
yourName.html(userName);
}
I need this in as a variable, because after I’ll format it inside a div in css. Is there another way to transform this value?
Thanks
If I'm understanding correctly, you're wanting to output the name that's entered into a h3 element?
In that case you could just use:
yourName = createElement('h3', userName);
like they've done in that reference you linked.
Here's a running example:
let inputName, bttName, yourName;
function setup() {
let inputDiv = createDiv();
inputDiv.id("input-section");
inputName = createInput();
inputName.addClass("input-name");
inputName.parent("input-section");
bttName = createButton('enter');
bttName.addClass('btt-name');
bttName.parent("input-section");
bttName.mousePressed(sendName);
}
function sendName() {
let userName = inputName.value();
yourName = createElement('h3', userName);
}html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
canvas {
display: block;
