reloading after drawing.

I want to reload after I finish drawing.

But I'd like to reload only "canvas". when I write code like this, instead of code in workspace,

$canvas.location.reload; it doesn't work. why? and the second question, is it ok if I write javascript and jquery at the same line? Because jquery is jsut javascript, I think?

$('#reset').click(function(){
  document.location.reload();
})

    <div id='buttons'>
        <button id="revealColorSelect">New Color</button>
    <button id="reset">Reset</button> 
    </div>

Hi Dongyun CHo,

Do you mean you want to clear the canvas without reloading the page?

let $canvas = $("canvas"); let context = $canvas[0].getContext("2d"); context.clearRect(0, 0, $canvas.width(), $canvas.height());

Yes you can write jquery and javascript in the same line

best of luck
