Html tag showing in my quote sent to twitter

1

Hi All

I have just completed my random quote machine, but I am not able to prevent the
tag from being sent with the quote to twitter.

My codepen page below:


What I forgot to say was that when you click the tweet button it sends the quote to your twitter page. It is this quote which contains the
tag.
thanks

That makes sense since you pass the result to totalResult(). Twitter is parsing the tag as a string. What you want to do instead, is pass the value to totalResult() and create different strings for your $("#page").html() and twitPost();

Thanks guys,

Your solutions fixed my problem. I just need to logically work through them to understand how it is different from what I did initially, and how it fixed the problem when mine could not.
