Palindrome Project (Help Needed)

JavaScript
1

I don’t know why I’m not passing the user stories. This whole Javascript block has been frustrating. Help

//JS code:

const textInput = document.getElementById('text-input');
const checkBtn = document.getElementById('check-btn');
const result = document.getElementById('result');


function cleanInputStr (str) {
  const regex = /[^a-zA-Z\g\s\i:]/;
  return str.replace(regex,'');
}

function manipulateText(cleanText) {
  const reverseText = cleanText.split('').reverse().join('');
  return reverseText;

}

function validate() {

  const inputText = textInput.value;
  const cleanText = cleanInputStr(inputText);

  if (inputText === "") {
    resultText = `Please input a value`;
  } else {
    const reverseText = manipulateText(cleanText);
    if (cleanText === reverseText){
    resultText = `${inputText} is a palindrome`;
    } else {
    resultText = `${inputText} is not a palindrome`;
    }  
  result.innerText = resultText;
  }
}
checkBtn.addEventListener ("click", validate);

I would have the console pane open when you run the tests. It should be telling you some things you need to fix.

It only shows the stories which I am not passing and offers them up as help like "when eye typed in the result should say eye is a palindrome. There’s literally no help in anything JS on this website. I’ve digressed to learning on ChatGPT to understand what I’m doing.

Hmm. I just tested your JS and the error I see in the console pane is “ReferenceError: assignment to undeclared variable resultText”.

That’s more help than I’ve gotten throughout this whole block of lessons

Thanks!
