I have been trying for hours to get my playing cards to flip when the player clicks on them. When the eventListener is fired it should run the flip function which toggles between the front/backsides of a card. What am I doing wrong?
const playingCards = document.querySelectorAll('.playing-cards');
function flipCard(){;
this.classList.toggle("flip")
}
playingCards.forEach((card) => card.addEventListener("click", flipCard));.playing-cards{
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
.playing-cards .flip{
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.front-card{
background-color: aqua;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
transform: rotateX(0deg);
}
.back-card{
background-color: greenyellow;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.front-card,
.back-card{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
backface-visibility: hidden;
