how can I write a function that changes a variable depending on which link of two is clicked? using the link id?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.8 seconds

To change a variable depending on which link of two is clicked using the link id, you can write a JavaScript code like this:

javascript
Copy code
let linkOne = document.getElementById("link-one"); let linkTwo = document.getElementById("link-two"); let myVariable = ''; function changeVariableOnClick(id) { if (id === 'link-one') { myVariable = 'Variable set by link one'; } else if (id === 'link-two') { myVariable = 'Variable set by link two'; } } linkOne.addEventListener('click', function() { changeVariableOnClick('link-one'); }); linkTwo.addEventListener('click', function() { changeVariableOnClick('link-two'); });

In this code, we first store the references to the two link elements with their respective ids in the linkOne and linkTwo variables. We also initialize a myVariable variable that we want to change based on which link is clicked.

We then define a changeVariableOnClick function that accepts an id argument. This function checks which id was passed and updates the myVariable variable depending on whether the first or the second link was clicked.

Finally, we use the addEventListener method to attach a click event listener to each of the links. When either link is clicked, the respective changeVariableOnClick function is called with the correct id argument, and the myVariable variable is updated accordingly.

What is " preventDefault"

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.15 seconds

preventDefault() is a function in JavaScript that is used to stop the default behavior of an event handler. It is commonly used with form submissions or link clicks to prevent the page from reloading or navigating to a new page.

Here is an example of how preventDefault() can be used with a link click event in JavaScript:

js
Copy code
document.querySelector('a').addEventListener('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); console.log('Link was clicked, but default behavior was prevented.'); });

In this example, the preventDefault() function is called within the event listener function to prevent the browser's default behavior of navigating to the linked page. Instead, clicking the link will only log a message to the console.

how do I make a link not change color after being visited?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.12 seconds

To make a link not change color after being visited, you can use CSS.

Here's an example code block in CSS:

css
Copy code
a:link { color: blue; } a:visited { color: purple; } a:hover { color: green; } a:active { color: red; } a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; }

In the example above, a:link is the default state of the link, a:visited is the state of the link after it has been visited. The text-decoration: none; property is used to remove the underline on the link.

So to make a link not change color after being visited, you would set the same color on a:visited as you did for a:link, and then add the text-decoration: none; property to remove the underline.

how to change link color

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.85 seconds

To change the color of a link, you can use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) by targeting the anchor element (<a>) and setting the color property. Here's an example:

css
Copy code
a { color: blue; }

In this example, all links will be blue. You can change the color value to any color you like using either a named color, hexadecimal value, RGB value, or HSL value. Here's an example with a few different color options:

css
Copy code
a { color: red; /* named color */ } a { color: #ff00ff; /* hexadecimal value */ } a { color: rgb(0, 255, 0); /* RGB value */ } a { color: hsl(240, 100%, 50%); /* HSL value */ }

You can learn more about CSS colors in the MDN Web Docs.

how to change to color of the links

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.05 seconds

To change the color of the links, you can use CSS.

Here's an example code block in CSS:

css
Copy code
a { color: blue; /* Changes the color of all links to blue */ }

In this code, the a selector targets all the hyperlink elements on the page. The color property then sets the text color to blue. You can change "blue" to any other color you prefer by using a color name, hexadecimal code, RGB or HSL values, or other supported color formats.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป how can i have more font-family

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.11 seconds

To have more font-family options in your webpage, you can include additional fonts using the @font-face rule in your CSS file.

Here's an example code block in CSS:

css
Copy code
@font-face { font-family: "Custom Font"; src: url("path-to-font.ttf"); /* Add the path to the font file */ } body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif, "Custom Font"; /* Add the new font-family as one of the options */ }

In this code, the @font-face rule defines the new font family "Custom Font" and specifies the path to the font file. Then, in the body selector, we use the new font-family as one of the options for the main text font. If the browser doesn't support the custom font, it will fall back to the next available option.

You can repeat this process for any additional fonts you want to include and then use them in your CSS file. Be sure to check the font licensing restrictions beforehand to ensure you have permission to use and distribute the font.

When is the <link> tag used

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.49 seconds

The <link> tag is used to link external files to an HTML document, such as CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, and icon files. For example, to link an external CSS stylesheet to an HTML document, we can use the <link> tag with the rel attribute set to "stylesheet" and the href attribute set to the URL of the stylesheet file. Here is an example code snippet using the <link> tag in HTML:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>My Website</title> <!-- linking an external CSS stylesheet --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to my website</h1> <p>This is some content on my website.</p> </body> </html>

how to code a link for celsius to fahrenheit conversion in JS

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.4 seconds

To code a link for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion in JavaScript, you can follow these steps:

First, create a link element using the a tag in your HTML code.

html
Copy code
<a id="convert" href="#">Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit</a>

Next, use JavaScript to add an event listener to the link element so that when a user clicks on it, the conversion function is called.

javascript
Copy code
const convertBtn = document.getElementById("convert"); convertBtn.addEventListener("click", function() { // Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula // (ยฐC ร— 9/5) + 32 = ยฐF const celsius = parseFloat(prompt("Enter a temperature in Celsius")); const fahrenheit = (celsius * 9/5) + 32; alert(`${celsius}ยฐC is ${fahrenheit}ยฐF`); });

This code uses the parseFloat() function to convert the user's input into a floating-point number. It then applies the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula and displays the result using an alert dialog box.

Once you have added this code to your JavaScript file and linked it to your HTML file, you should be able to click on the link element to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

code to link css in html

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.59 seconds

To link a CSS file to an HTML file, you can use the following code in the head section of your HTML file:

html
Copy code
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> </head>

In the above code:

  • link specifies the relationship between the current document and the linked file.
  • rel="stylesheet" tells the browser that the linked file is a stylesheet.
  • type="text/css" specifies the MIME type of the linked file.
  • href="styles.css" specifies the path of the CSS file from the HTML file. Adjust the href attribute value to match the location and name of your CSS file.

Here is an example of what the code would look like in practice:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My Website</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to my website!</h1> <p>This is an example of how to link a CSS file to an HTML file.</p> </body> </html>

how do i stop a link from having an underline?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.93 seconds

To stop a link from having an underline, you can try adding the following CSS code in a <style> tag or external stylesheet:

css
Copy code
a { text-decoration: none; }

This CSS code sets the text-decoration property of the anchor element (link) to "none", which removes the default underline. Here's an example:

html
Copy code
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Example</a> <style> a { text-decoration: none; } </style>

In this example, the CSS code is placed inside a <style> tag in the head section of the HTML document. This will remove underlines from all anchor links in the document. If you only want to remove underlines from specific links, you can apply a class or ID to the links and target them in the CSS code.
