Within my code, I am working with an array named 'filteredTasks'. For each task in this array, my goal is to generate a button inside a Div and assign an onclick function to that specific button. Initially, I attempted to achieve this by using a single forEach loop which can be seen in the first block below. However, this approach did not produce the intended result. Although the buttons were successfully created, only the last button received the onclick function. Upon further experimentation, I decided to split the code into two separate forEach callbacks as shown in the second part below. Surprisingly, this new method proved successful in assigning the onclick function to each button accordingly. This discrepancy perplexes me, and I am seeking insight from fellow developers. Can anyone enlighten me on the reason behind this behavior? I appreciate any assistance provided!
filteredTasks.forEach(function(task) {
var buttonId = task.taskName.replace(/\s/g, '') + 'Button'
var taskHTML = `<button class="taskButton" id="${buttonId}">${task.taskName}</button>`;
taskDiv.innerHTML += taskHTML;
var button = document.querySelector(`#${buttonId}`);
button.onclick = function() {performTask(task)};
});
};
filteredTasks.forEach(function(task) {
var buttonId = task.taskName.replace(/\s/g, '') + 'Button'
var taskHTML = `<button class="taskButton" id="${buttonId}">${task.taskName}</button>`;
taskDiv.innerHTML += taskHTML;
});
filteredTasks.forEach(function(task) {
var buttonId = task.taskName.replace(/\s/g, '') + 'Button'
var button = document.querySelector(`#${buttonId}`);
button.onclick = function() {performTask(task)};
});
};
