JavaScript - 仅当满足特定条件时，您能否将 class 添加到输入元素？

Question

I am having trouble with using JavaScript so that when a user tries to submit my HTML/CSS form while either of the input fields are blank, then the relevant field would appear 'highlighted' or outlined. My aim was to add a class (a transparent layer of some kind) to one of the input fields depending on if the field's value is blank or not. I have so far tried using: element.classList.add("className"); with no luck. The input fields are defined with no classes so I just wanted to add.

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

I would just loop over my inputs and check if their values are true or not, then change class name accordingly. A input's value returns false if it's blank.

const form = document.querySelector("form");
const inputs = document.querySelectorAll("input");


form.addEventListener("submit", (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    checkInputs();
});


const checkInputs = () => {
    inputs.forEach(input => {
        if (input.value) {
            input.className = "your-class-name-1"
        } else {
            input.className = "your-class-name-2"
        }
    })

};

As everyone told above, you should use the required parameter, but if you want to use your solution you should tell us what is not working.

I've checked your code and created a little form for this purpose like:

<form id='form'>
<input type="text"/ id='form-field1' placeholder='1'>
<input type="text"/ id='form-field2' placeholder='2'>
<button type='submit'/>
</form>

Your code:

const form = document.getElementById('form');
const a = document.getElementById('form-field1');
const b = document.getElementById('form-field2');

form.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    checkInputs();
});

function checkInputs() {
    const aValue = a.value.trim();
    const bValue = b.value.trim();
    
    console.log(aValue);
    console.log(bValue);
    
    if (aValue === "") {
        a.classList.add("red-transparent-overlay");
    } else {
        a.classList.add("green-transparent-overlay");
    }
}

and submitting my form when the first field is null adds red-transparent-overlay class to the first field, the same happens with the second statement, so your code is working.

Answer 3

Make sure you remove the other class when you add a class.

    if (aValue === "") {
        a.classList.add("red-transparent-overlay");
        a.classList.remove("green-transparent-overlay");
    } else {
        a.classList.add("green-transparent-overlay");
        a.classList.remove("red-transparent-overlay");
    }
