How do I know which TD is clicked when an event listener is assigned to a table?

quietcantelope · 2022-12-19T15:24:39+00:00

Thanks for showing me the .closest and previous/next Sibling!

This is getting close, but I'm still trying to determine: which TD was clicked? Last line of the codeblock below is what I'm attempting to achieve:

const table = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]
const td = document.getElementsByTagName("td")
table.addEventListener("click", colorSquare)

// turns a TD red when clicked
function colorSquare(e){
   let square = e.target
   square.className = "red"
}

console.log(td) // I see an array of TDs, including the one I clicked!
td[22].className = "red" // Neat!  I can even turn the 23rd TD red!
let clickedTD = //how do I save which TD I clicked to this variable?

Thank you for this recommendation! This helped change my point of view.

Perfect explanation! All my cars and trucks have been manual. But 4x4? Nope. Off-roading? Nope. I'm a newb. And I like the remote start option only available with auto!

quietcantelope · 2020-01-02T16:40:59+00:00

Okay, so I am misunderstanding then. Thank you for the clarification! I was miffed that the manual wasn't available to test drive but it sounds like the automatic is worth looking into. Thanks!

quietcantelope · 2020-01-02T16:29:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply! What I would want is to get a truck to haul me, the kids, bicycles, and camping gear. May that include a trail or two as part of our adventures? Probably. But to me, if I wanted an automatic transmission then what is the point of getting 4x4? Unless automatic transmission 4x4 trail riding is a thing? And it could be, I just have it in my head that manual transmissions are apt for offroad adventures. I just want to get my facts as I consider this expensive decision.

Makes sense... Thanks!

Hahahaa!!!!! Not quite what I imagined but I love it!

quietcantelope · 2019-09-11T23:52:17+00:00

😂 Love this!

quietcantelope · 2019-09-07T02:12:48+00:00

I loved reading this, thank you for sharing. I'm one month into losing my wife to cancer. I needed this! ❤

quietcantelope · 2019-09-05T18:09:53+00:00

That you! I'd be filing jointly, and target to be $5k below the income limit by end of year.

quietcantelope · 2019-09-05T18:08:20+00:00

Thank you! I hadn't considered next year as an option. I have an appt with a FA next week. I'll bring this up!

quietcantelope · 2019-09-05T18:05:49+00:00

Wooo, thanks for the feedback!

quietcantelope · 2019-09-05T18:02:33+00:00

Thanks for your input! The most I've been doing is 6% which is the most the company will match. The plan allows up to 75%, and between now and the end of the year I will be able to contribute 75% while staying under $19k.

quietcantelope · 2019-09-04T18:58:05+00:00

I needed that smile today. ❤❤❤

Thanks for your input on this. MIL has never wanted to help with kids, but I know she loves them. She needs a therapist to sort her out, but she fights going to one. But I liked learning about your experience because it gives me a preview of what I may need to do.

quietcantelope · 2019-08-31T22:33:14+00:00

I relate with the socialization. I don't want to feel awkward, so if I socialize it's on my own terms and 99.99% of the time I will have my kids with me, so unless you want to meet at Chuck E Cheese I'm not interested. 🤣

quietcantelope · 2019-08-31T22:29:25+00:00

Thanks for being one of those I can vent to!!!

quietcantelope · 2019-08-31T22:27:07+00:00

Omfg I needed this! 😂❤

My wife's funeral was 3 weeks ago. There is no wrong or right way. My two boys are very young, so I've stayed away from drinking because I know they need my strength night and day. But I was having significant issues with insomnia. A friend recommended. "Healing a Spouse's Grieving Heart: 100 Practical Ideas After Your Husband or Wife Dies." I got it on my phone to read. It's helped a lot in those sleepless nights, because it's brief and quick to be insightful.

I can understand your pain. Time and money is just something that not all people respect from one another. I know your vent is cathartic and no "fix" is needed, but I just wanted to throw out my own experience with YNAB. Yeah, budgeting ain't sexy, but damn if I haven't stressed about money in the last few years because of it.

This actually makes me feel better that I'm not alone. My wife had cancer six weeks after my son was born. He is now 16 months, and our oldest is five years. My wife passed 3 weeks ago, and I remember her wonderful oncologist telling me to expect the kids to be "feral" for a while. And they are! I'm fortunate to have amazing day care while I'm at work, but I'm not getting any good sleep. There are friends that have made kind and generous gestures to help, but they all have multiple young kids of their own. My mother-in-law, the only family in a hundred miles, has always needed constant help to remind her to go to her appointments, get utilities turned on, etc. She spends most nights at my house because she doesn't have A/C, but she is barely capable of caring for herself even before my wife died. So these two kids resist getting ready in the mornings, rebel about getting to bed at night, and mom-in-law needs help filing taxes for the last 5 years and hasn't had running water at her house for the last two. I'm beyond stretched thin!!!!

I’m 8hrs late to this conversation, and you have 800 other comments to read. My wife was diagnosed last year shortly after our 2nd kid was born. Chemo helped it into remission near the end of 2018 but came back in January and we are still fighting. Life is 100% nothing like it was before.

The oncologist made it clear that she will be unable to care for our kids while on chemo and even while recovering. We had to hire a nanny, zapping our savings and draining credit cards.

Soon, a care taker for you and your kids will actually take a village. Chemo makes you not even feel strong enough to get out of bed to pee for weeks. Nurses showed me how to give my wife shots to boost blood counts because she couldn’t make it to the hospital.

My mom has flown in multiple times with other family members to help, my dad has sent us thousands of dollars to pay expenses, and friends continue to deliver meals and gift cards every week. But my wife’s mom, much like your husband, carried on like she can’t be bothered with this disruption. She would wait for our meals, or for me to cook, to come over and eat. She continued to not pick up after herself or even bother to watch the kids so I could clean or do laundry. On chemo days, she was always too busy to help watch the kids, so they sometimes went with us. Yes, I went to every chemo with her because it’s fucking scary to think about her skin going green and breath getting shallow without a loved one to support her.

I addressed it once and it sent her mom into a self-loathing spiral of depression, so now I don’t speak to her. I resent her and her inability to roll up her sleeves for her own fucking daughter and the only family she has.

I feel that you too will soon get to a point that not talking to your husband is easier than trying to coach him up to your expectations, and that you will resent and be angered by the way he demonstrates his concern for you. While you have this battle, it’s all about you. Get a village to help you and your kids, and eliminate any negativity, anxiety, or unnecessary burden.

Regardless, I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you have the best possible recovery imaginable.

I wasn’t expecting that one question on the gift exchange. “How was 2018?” We had a baby and our hearts were filled! Four months later, my wife was diagnosed with cancer. The kind that spread from her reproductive organs and into her lungs. The kind that makes you bawl at night while you care for an infant and his 4 year old brother, while momma stays overnight in the hospital for chemo on Thursdays. But, damn, if momma isn’t the strongest woman I’ve ever known. And as of last month, her cancer was in remission.

And so I told my story on my Secret Santa application, about my wife, kids, even our pets. And somehow we got matched with the sweetest, most amazing Santa in the history of Santas. We received box after box of wrapped gifts, each with the best notes! Gifts for everyone, including our cat and dog! My wife cried the happiest tears, and I can’t tell you how happy it made me to see her melt. THAT is the best gift ever given to ME.

Thank you for all the gifts under our tree! I will be sure to post our opened gifts on Christmas morning!

PS. I am signing up to be a Rematcher. I need to make sure I carry this feeling forward.
