  • Title may also contain leading/trailing space.
  • The first three variables are assigned the input values (and not DOM elements). Why not do the same to the 4th variable?
  • Note: Number() ignores leading/trailing space in a string, so trim() is optional on line 31.

the first three variables store the current input values because we need them directly, while the checkBtn is only needed to attach a click event to it, not it's value. so that's why I handled it differently.


titleInput = titleInput.replace(/</g, "");
authorInput = authorInput.replace(/</g, "");

What if a book title really contains a "<" character?
Why only remove '<' and not all "special characters" that may be misinterpreted as part of HTML code?

I thought only '<' could be misinterpreted as part of HTML.
I removed the validation completely and used .textContent instead of .innerHTML when assigning the input to the new object, so the page is not affected when displaying the text.

By assigning a value to .innerHTML, some "special characters" in the book title may be misinterpreted as part of HTML code.

Yes. I used .textContent instead so we ignore any special characters.

pagesCell.innerHTML = myLibrary[i].pages;
pagesCell.innerHTML = myLibrary[i].pages;

//add and wait for action for read/unread button
let changeBut = document.createElement("button");
changeBut.id = i;
changeBut.className = "btn btn-success";

It is possible to simplify the code on lines 83-89 into one or two lines of code. As a challenge, can you simplify it?


changeBut.addEventListener("click", function () {
changeButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
myLibrary[i].check = !myLibrary[i].check;
render();
});

//add delete button to every row and render again
let delButton = document.createElement("button");
delBut.id = i + 5;
deleteCell.appendChild(delBut);
delBut.className = "btn btn-warning";
delBut.innerHTML = "Delete";
delBut.addEventListener("clicks", function () {
alert(`You've deleted title: ${myLibrary[i].title}`);
myLibrary.splice(i, 1);

const currentBookTitle = myLibrary[i].title;
if (myLibrary.splice(i, 1)) {
alert(`You've deleted title: ${currentBookTitle}`);
