Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far

setTimeout(() => {
const element = document.getElementById(“inputVal”);
}, obj.showMsgDelay);
});
};

Please Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

i have problem on step 104 of learn-
recursion-by-building-a-decimal-to-binary-converter

4

what problen do you have?

5

this is the instruction I suppose to follow:
You used the inputVal property as the id attribute for your paragraph elements. Now you can target those the paragraph elements with those ids.

Use the .getElementById() method to select the element with the id attribute with the value of the inputVal property of the current object.

then tis is how I’m trying write the code:
setTimeout(() => {
document.getElementById(“inputVal”);
}, obj.showMsgDelay);
});
};

6

it doesn’t look like you are using any property of object, you are using a string which is not what you should be using

7

Please, explain more!!!

8

what could be the inputVal property of the current object?

9

You mean this???

setTimeout(() => {
document.getElementById(“obj.inputVal”);
}, obj.showMsgDelay);
});
};

10

if you write it as a string you can’t get the value from the object

Okay, it works!!!
but why not in string if I may ask???
Because, I used to pass id name of element as string???

12

because you want the value from obj.inputVal, you are not searching for an id that is exactly "obj.inputVal"
