ViewsRemove the URL of closest <a> element from list with JS
So I have a list of urls and I have remove button(img button). When clicked to remove button. The url which is next to button must be removed from the list.
let list = [];
const remove = document.getElementById('remove')
const view = document.getElementById('view');
const saveInput = document.getElementById('save-input');
saveInput.addEventListener('click', function (){
list.push(input.value);
input.value = '';
localStorage.setItem('list', JSON.stringify(list));
render(list);
})
remove.addEventListener('click', function (){
remove.closest("li").remove();
render(list);
})
function render(lst) {
let listItems = '';
lst.forEach(element => {
listItems += `
<li>
<a target='_blank' href='${element}'>${element}</a>
<img src="images/remove.png"
onClick="remove_item(this)"
id="remove" alt="Remove" width="12" height="12">
</li>`
});
view.innerHTML = listItems;
}
I am printing the items to screen by using render() function. And my list looks like this.
Since url is not removed from list by removing closest <li> when render() function ran again; item comes back!
So when clicked to bin image; the link next to it must be removed from the list. Thank you!

I guess you want something like this https://jsfiddle.net/er2uj8pL/
Better to remove item from list and render it again (I assumed you are using jquery based on .closest)
const remove = document.getElementById('remove')
const lst = ['item1', 'item2'];
remove_item = function(index) {
lst.splice(index, 1)
render(document.getElementById('view'));
}
function render(view) {
let listItems = '';
lst.forEach((element, index) => {
listItems += `
<li>
<a target='_blank' href='${element}'>${element}</a>
<img src="images/remove.png"
onClick="remove_item(${index})"
id="remove" alt="Remove" width="12" height="12">
</li>`
});
view.innerHTML = listItems;
}
render(document.getElementById('view'))

You have duplicate IDs that is not allowed
I would delegate and splice
My code allows you to sort the list
const view = document.getElementById("view");
let list = ["el1", "el2"];
const remove = document.getElementById('remove')
view.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
const tgt = e.target;
if (tgt.matches("img.remove")) {
const removeElement = tgt.dataset.element;
const idx = list.findIndex(elem => elem === removeElement);
list.splice(idx, 1)
render(list);
}
})
function render(lst) {
view.innerHTML = lst.map((element, i) => `<li>
<a target='_blank' href='${element}'>${element}</a>
<img src="images/remove.png" data-element="${element}"
class="remove" alt="Remove" width="12" height="12">
</li>`).join("")
}
render(list)<ul id="view"></ul>

do that this way, with event delegation
/* code for init list ( not accepted in SO snippet)
const
list = JSON.parse( localStorage.getItem('list') || '[]')
, view = document.querySelector('ul#view')
;
*/
const
list = ['www.go1.com', 'www.go2.com', 'www.go3.com', 'www.go4.com'] /* just for testing here */
, view = document.querySelector('ul#view')
;
// initial render
list.forEach(element =>
{
let LI = document.createElement('li');
LI.innerHTML = `
<a target='_blank' href='${element}'>${element}</a>
<img src="images/remove.png" alt="Remove" width="12" height="12"> `
view.appendChild(LI)
})
view.addEventListener('click', function (event)
{
if (!event.target.matches('img[alt="Remove"]')) return
let
LI = event.target.closest('li')
, iX = list.indexOf (LI.querySelector('a').textContent)
;
list.splice(iX,1)
view.removeChild(LI)
// localStorage.setItem('list', JSON.stringify(list))
console.log( JSON.stringify(list)) // just for snippet test
setTimeout(console.clear,3000) // just for snippet test
})<ul id="view"></ul>
