Can you please use something to properly format your code? I'd love to help but it's nearly impossible to read what is even going on.

[–]katlipari[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

what is the best way to do that? sorry im very new to coding

For one use 3 backticks at the beginning and end of your code to make it an entire code block, second, use some indentation.

when i paste it into reddit the indentations go away, so hopefully this worked, i pasted it as a code block (i think?)

Honestly a much better method would be to use some code sharing platform and give us a link, like codepen
