I am a beginner, trying to implement 'click' event listener to pop up a modal. But as soon as I click the link the modal appears and disappear instantly.
const btn = document.getElementById(btn");
const modal= document.getElementById("modal");
const showModal = function (el, modalId) {
el.addEventListener("click", function () {
modalId.classList.remove("hidden");
});
};
showModal(btn, modal);.hidden{
display: none
}<a class='btn'> Click </a>
<div id='modal' class='hidden'> Modal Content </div>you should define id="btn" on your a tag to be able to do
document.getElementById("btn")
const btn = document.getElementById("btn");
const modal = document.getElementById("modal");
const showModal = function(el, modalId) {
el.addEventListener("click", function() {
modalId.classList.remove("hidden");
});
};
showModal(btn, modal);.hidden {
display: none
}<a id="btn"> Click </a>
<div id='modal' class='hidden'> Modal Content </div>Thanks You so much guys for responding. I found my mistake, I was using 'link' tag with empty 'href' attribute, due to which the page was reloading ever time I clicked it. I simply replaced the links with button tag and now it is working just fine.
Although I still want to know if it is possible to stop the page from reloading when link element is clicked.
Also, thank you for highlighting the 'class/id' typo.
