Javascript: how do you add and remove hidden in <p hidden>
How do you add and remove 'hidden' from <p hidden>My Text<\p>? I tried removing the attribute and setting it to false but neither of them worked.
let p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
let myText;
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++) {
if (p[i].innerHTML == "My Text") {
myText = p[i];
break;
}
}
myText.removeAttribute("hidden"); // no effect
myText.setAttribute("hidden", false); // no effect
Answer
It looks fine here. Try with this code if you wish.
index.html
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p hidden>My Text</p>
</body>
</html>
script
let p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
let myText;
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++) {
if (p[i].innerHTML == "My Text") {
// console.log(myText, p[0].innerHTML);
myText = p[i];
break;
}
}
myText.removeAttribute("hidden");
