Build a Palindrome Checker Project - Build a Palindrome Checker

Tell us what’s happening:

Please help me, I had this way longer and spent the past few hours making it better and my brain is absolute mush. I know it’s probably something small but I just can’t see it, I need fresh eyes.

Your code so far

        } else {
            result.innerHTML = input.value + ' is not a palindrome';
        }
    }
};

button.addEventListener('click', letsCheck);

Can you tell us what tests are failing?

Found a typo


  • When the #text-input element contains the text _eye and the #check-btn element is clicked, the #result element should contain the text _eye is a palindrome.

This failing test means you aren’t treating the _ correctly.

Thank you so much! I am sorry I didn’t give more info before posting, had to leave the house right after I had. This helps tremendously!!

I also just realized it wasn’t working because in my caffeine delerium I forgot to link the script sheet with the html :woman_facepalming: like I said, it’s always the small things.

That happens to us all sometimes.

Wishing you good progress!
