I know there's accessibility points and some JS refactoring to address, but as a MVP, I think this isn't too shabby.

    Hi @gtw1986, nice work here :) Here's some things that could use work:

    • as for the accessibility, you could definitely swap the divs with the class of 'button' for actual button elements.

    Some usability issues:

    • Sometimes I seem to be able to have two or three buttons have the class 'active'. Could be because you're listening to the event on the entire node list rather than individual buttons? Not sure. Anyway, what I would do is on click I would remove the active class from all of the buttons and then add it to event.target.

    • I do get a warning that I can't have number of people set to 0 but I can go below 0. You can use min attribute on your input to fix that :)

    • When I input the amount to pay and select tip value, the amounts get calculated fine, but when I change the number of people, the calculated amounts disappear and I have to click on tip % to calculate again.

    • And lastly, you can use .toFixed() function to format the result, I don't think we need to see more than two decimal points :)

    Hope this helps, if you have any questions, let me know!

    Happy coding :)

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
