The error message "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'target')" means that the code is trying to access the target property of an undefined value. In this case, it seems that the event parameter passed to the toggleInfo function is undefined or null.

To resolve this error, you need to make sure that the event parameter is being properly passed to the toggleInfo function. Check where the toggleInfo function is being called and ensure that the event object is being passed correctly.

It's also possible that the error is occurring because the event listener is not properly set up for the element triggering the event. Double-check that the event listener is assigned to the correct element and that it is triggered as expected.

Without more context or the full code, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution. If you can provide more information or share more of the code, I can try to help you further troubleshoot the issue.

👩‍💻 Technical question

what is target in <a>

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.13 seconds

In the context of HTML, the target attribute is used in the <a> (anchor) tag to specify how the linked URL should be opened.

Here's an example:

code
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link</a>

In this example, the target attribute is set to _blank, which tells the browser to open the linked URL in a new tab or window.

Other possible values for the target attribute include:

  • _self: Opens the linked URL in the same window/tab.
  • _parent: Opens the linked URL in the parent window/tab (used in framesets).
  • _top: Opens the linked URL in the full body of the window/tab (used in framesets).
  • Custom window name: Opens the linked URL in a specific named window/tab.

Please note that the target attribute is optional and if it is not specified, the linked URL will open in the same window/tab by default.

Answered in 1.83 seconds

In HTML, the "target" attribute is used to specify where the linked document should open when a user clicks on a link. It can be set to various values such as "_blank" to open in a new window or tab, "_self" to open in the same window, or "_parent" to open in the parent frame. Here's an example:

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here</a>

This code creates a link that opens the URL "https://www.example.com" in a new browser tab or window.

How can I target an object key on an alert?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.65 seconds

You can target an object key in an alert box by using the object name followed by the key name in square brackets. Here's an example:

javascript
Copy code
let person = { name: 'John', age: 30 }; // Targeting object key in alert box alert(person['name']); // will display 'John'

You can also use dot notation to access the object key instead of square bracket notation:

javascript
Copy code
let person = { name: 'John', age: 30 }; // Targeting object key in alert box using dot notation alert(person.age); // will display 30

👩‍💻 Technical question

what do we use the target for in React?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.96 seconds

In React, we use the target attribute to define the target window or frame that is going to be used after submitting a form. This is commonly used when creating a link that should open in a new tab or when submitting a form that should open in a new window.

For example, if you want a link to open in a new tab, you can use the target='_blank' attribute.

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.shecodes.io" target="_blank">Visit SheCodes</a>

Here, the link will open in a new tab when clicked.

What does target _blank mean

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.43 seconds

target="_blank" is an attribute that you can add to an HTML anchor tag (<a></a>) to open the linked document in a new window or tab. This is usually used when you want to keep the current page open and the linked document open at the same time. Here is an example of how to use it:

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here to open example.com in a new window</a>

When the link is clicked, the browser will open a new tab or window (depending on the user's browser settings) and load the linked document in it.

Asked 2 years ago in HTML by Phoo Shwe Yee

what is different of these two code? <a href="URL Link"> code example </a> <a href="URL Link" target= "blank"> code example </a>

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.76 seconds

The only difference between the two code snippets is that the second one includes the attribute target="_blank". This means that when a user clicks on the link, it will open in a new browser window or tab, rather than taking them away from the current page/tab.

Here's the breakdown of the code in HTML:

html
Copy code
<a href="URL Link"> code example </a>
  • <a> creates a hyperlink element
  • href is an attribute that specifies the URL of the page the link goes to
  • "URL Link" is the actual URL itself
  • "code example" is the text displayed for the link
html
Copy code
<a href="URL Link" target= "blank"> code example </a>
  • In addition to the href attribute, target="_blank" is also included
  • target tells the browser where to open the linked document
  • "_blank" specifies to open the linked document in a new window or tab

👩‍💻 Technical question

How to open a link in a new window?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.49 seconds

To open a link in a new window, you can use the target attribute within an anchor tag in HTML. Set the value of the target attribute to "_blank" to specify that you want the link to open in a new window.

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link Text</a>

This code will create a link that will open "https://www.example.com" in a new browser window or tab when clicked.

👩‍💻 make it red

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.08 seconds

To make the link red, you can use CSS to style the anchor tag. Set the color property to red in your CSS file or by adding a style attribute to the anchor tag.

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank" style="color: red;">Link Text</a>

This code will create a red link that will open "https://www.example.com" in a new browser window or tab when clicked. Note that this changes the color of the link text, not the color of the new window that opens.

Asked 2 years ago in JavaScript by Gbemisola Oluwabukola

Can I have multiple id selectors to target it in my Javascript

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.67 seconds

Yes, you can have multiple ID selectors to target an element in Javascript. You can use the querySelectorAll() method to select multiple ids like this:

js
Copy code
const elements = document.querySelectorAll('#id1, #id2, #id3');

👩‍💻 Technical question

what is target in javascript?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 15.11 seconds

In JavaScript, the target property of a Event object identifies the element that initiated an event. When a certain event is triggered on a certain element, the target property of the Event object is set to that element. This property can be used to tell the origin of the event.

For example:

javascript
Copy code
<h1 onclick ="alertEvent(event)"> Click me </h1> <script> function alertEvent(e){ alert(e.target.innerHTML); } </script>

In the above example, when the h1 is clicked, the onclick event will be triggered. As a result, the alertEvent() function will be called and the target property will be set to h1, allowing you to use the e.target.innerHTML statement to retrieve the text of the h1, that is, "Click me".

In HTML, you can open a link in a new window by using the target attribute set to _blank. For example:

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
