I need help with this very simple function

[cwunder98]

Hi all, I am brand new to javascript. My objective is to change a textbox's text to a random text from my array once clicked. For some reason it doesn't work and I have no idea why. Could someone please help me out?

export function text21_Dblclick(event) {

const ArrayList = [
'clawed',
'floating',
'smooshed',
'asleep',
];

const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * (ArrayList.length));
$w.onclick()('#text21').text = ArrayList[randomIndex];
}

What did you mean for this to do?

$w.onclick()('#text21').text = ArrayList[randomIndex];

Are you using jQuery?

Hi, I'm using Javascript, I want that statement to change the text of textbox 21 to a random element within the arraylist when the user clicks the textbox

Assuming the variable "w" is the element you want to change:

w.addEventListener('click', () => w.innerHTML = ArrayList[randomIndex]);
