Setattribute related coding questions

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Ilaria

I want to use the transition property of CSS with setAttribute inside an addEventListener to make a transition when the src attribute of an image element is changed. But the transition doesn't work.

To make sure a transition is applied to a changed property, you need to add the CSS property transition to the initial state of the element. You can use it together with the setAttribute method inside the addEventListener like this:

css
Copy code
img { transition: all 1s; }
javascript
Copy code
let img = document.querySelector("img"); img.addEventListener("click", function() { img.setAttribute("src", "image2.jpg"); });

The transition property should also be set on the same element as the setAttribute to make sure the transition is applied to the changed property. For more information, see MDN's documentation on the transition property.

How to set JS attribute?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

To set a JavaScript attribute, you need to use the setAttribute() method. The setAttribute() method accepts two parameters, an attribute and its value. The attribute should be provided as a string and its value can be provided as a string, number, boolean, or any other type.

Here's an example for setting an HTML element's className attribute using setAttribute():

js
Copy code
<div id="example"></div> // Set the className attribute document.getElementById("example").setAttribute("className", "my-class");

More information on setAttribute() can be found in the MDN Web Docs.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
