Hi y'all..

I learned so much about JavaScript through this challenge. I learned how to code about a year ago but I wasn't consistent with my practice. While solving this challenge I realized how much I've forgotten and that I lacked practical skills.

For JS, I have these questions, if I may...

  • Overall, I believe there are functions that would make my coding more concise and less of so many repeated ones. If you have any advice, I welcome anything!
  • Can't seem to come up with how to '.toFixed(2)' bill amount. I want it where after you put amount and click elsewhere, it shows you rounded amount with 2 decimal places.
  • Couldn't figure out how to make results change according to the change of 'bill' and 'number of people', so I had to make it undo the 'tip selector' button as you change value of them so that after that you can 're-type' to see the results. Otherwise the previous result will remain with different button selected, if this makes sense.
  • How do I eliminated the arrow buttons that are automatically inside 'input[type=number]'? I tried '-moz-appearance: textfield;' and such, but it keeps getting reported as 'problems'.

I was really excited to solve this challenge, as I have only focused on HTML and CSS so far. I want to get better at JS quickly so any advice will help! :) Cheers!

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
