Hello there 👋. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! 🎉
- I have other recommendations regarding your code that I believe will be of great interest to you.
SUGGESTIONS : 💡
- "How do I prevent a submission when any of the rating buttons were clicked ?"
- Yeah there's a native solution which is available in JavaScript, the solution is
e.preventDefault()method!
- In JavaScript, the
e.preventDefault()method is used to prevent the default behavior of an event. When an event occurs, such as clicking on a link or submitting a form, the browser executes its default action associated with that event. However, by callinge.preventDefault(), you can override this default behavior and define your own custom actions.
- Let's break it, The
erepresents the event object that is passed as an argument to event handlers. By invokingpreventDefault()on the event object, you stop the event from performing its default action. (the submitting behaviour)
- Now you learned how to tackle this default form submission, congrats!
.
I hope you find this helpful 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great !
Happy coding!

@0xAbdulKhalid Thank you for the suggestion.
I was actually going to use e.preventDefault() if a user did not click any of rating buttons. However, I couldn’t find a way to check if they clicked the button or not.
If you know how to approach this, please let me know.
Thank you

And along with that i can understand what you're asking, We can resolve that issue by adding a
disableattribute to submit button -
Then add click event listener to the rating buttons and whenever the rating are clicked then the
disableattribute will be removed from the submit button. -
So the user cannot submit the rating until he selected any one of the rating provided there.
-
I can't explain everything here, but you can take a look at my submission where i used this method to tackle the problem you mentioned
-
Here's the submission
.
Hope am helpful!
