I want to achieve an automatic clear and display another value corresponds to new inputted data
This is my html code for input data and text area
function getInputValue(){
var integer = document.getElementById("integer").value;
var text = document.getElementById("answer");
for (var i = 1; i <= integer; i++) {
if (i % 15 == 0){
text.append( i, "= ","fizzbuzz\n")
}
else if (i % 3 == 0){
text.append( i, "= ","fizz \n")
}
else if (i % 5 == 0){
text.append( i, "= ","buzz \n")
}
else{
text.append(i, "= \n")
}
}
}<div class="form-floating mb-3">
<input class="form-control" id="integer" onChange="getInputValue()" type="text" placeholder="Input an Integer for N" data-sb-validations="required" />
<label for="integer">Input an Integer for N</label>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 form-floating answer mb-3">
<textarea disabled class="form-control" id="answer" type="text" placeholder="Answer" style="height: 20rem"></textarea>
</div>If you will try to run the snippet you can see that if you will change the value in the input tag the textarea will just stack all the outputs
Because you are using append() always it is always adding to content. Just clear it everytime onChange is triggered so it resets. You can use :
text.innerHTML = '';
function getInputValue(){
var integer = document.getElementById("integer").value;
var text = document.getElementById("answer");
text.innerHTML = '';
for (var i = 1; i <= integer; i++) {
if (i % 15 == 0){
msg = i + "fizzbuzz";
text.append( i, "= ","fizzbuzz\n")
}
else if (i % 3 == 0){
text.append( i, "= ","fizz \n")
}
else if (i % 5 == 0){
text.append( i, "= ","buzz \n")
}
else{
text.append(i, "= \n")
}
}
}<div class="form-floating mb-3">
<input class="form-control" id="integer" onChange="getInputValue()" type="text" placeholder="Input an Integer for N" data-sb-validations="required" />
<label for="integer">Input an Integer for N</label>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 form-floating answer mb-3">
<textarea disabled class="form-control" id="answer" type="text" placeholder="Answer" style="height: 20rem"></textarea>
</div>Here is the solution:
let inputEl = document.querySelector('#integer')
let answerEl = document.querySelector('#answer')
inputEl.addEventListener('input', () => {
answerEl.value = ''
if (inputEl.value !== '') {
answerEl.value = getInputValue()
}
})
function getInputValue() {
var integer = inputEl.value;
var text = '';
for (var i = 1; i <= integer; i++) {
if (i % 15 == 0) {
text += i +"= fizzbuzz\n"
} else if (i % 3 == 0) {
text += i +" = fizz \n"
} else if (i % 5 == 0) {
text += i +" = buzz \n"
} else {
text += i +" = \n"
}
}
return text
}<div class="form-floating mb-3">
<input class="form-control" id="integer" type="text" placeholder="Input an Integer for N" data-sb-validations="required" />
<label for="integer">Input an Integer for N</label>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 form-floating answer mb-3">
<textarea disabled class="form-control" id="answer" type="text" placeholder="Answer" style="height: 20rem"></textarea>
</div>For context.
onChange="getInputValue()"As far as I can see here, there isn't a way to clear a textarea without using an onclick function.
