Frontend Mentor Newsletter Sign-Up Built With HTML/CSS/JS

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I initially structured the project with HTML, but faced difficulties when moving to CSS and incorporating JavaScript. After some styling, I decided to focus on getting the JavaScript logic working with the HTML first. I used display properties to hide sections for testing and saved most of the CSS styling for last. In future projects, I'll prioritize accessibility in my HTML by using both IDs and classes for better distinction between styling and logic. I'll also employ debugging methods to ensure functionality.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

This project really stressed the importance of figuring out a proper work flow. I kept finding myself going back and forth between the styling and the logic and HTML having to make proper adjustments for each change that was made in any of the code. I'm definitely coming back from this with a better idea of how to approach building all aspects of the project.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

One thing that bugs me is that the error message logic works when there is no input in the input box, but when you type anything in other than an email, a built in pop-up windows displays saying "Please include an '@' in the email address. 'input' is missing an '@'.". I'm not sure if this is because i set the input type="email", or something else. It's just annoying because i built a regex to check for more than just an '@'. Unless someone can give me any tips, I might come back in the future and get rid of the regex just to see if the validation function still works, and change the input type for testing.
