Tell us what’s happening:
The solution passes all the tests, but does not actually work. By that I mean: when I type a name into the input field and click “send message” it does not change the message being displayed in the message box above.
I’m not too worried about it, as I am able to move on and assume this is a bug, but am curious what could be going on.
Your code so far
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
document.getElementById('sendMessage').onclick = function(){
const userName = document.getElementById('name').value;
const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts';
// Add your code below this line
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', url, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8');
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 201){
const serverResponse = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
document.getElementsByClassName('message')[0].textContent = serverResponse.userName + serverResponse.suffix;
}
};
const body = JSON.stringify({ userName: userName, suffix: ' loves cats!' });
xhr.send(body);
// Add your code above this line
};
});
</script>
