Hi! I wanted to see if i can implement this effect with js as well and i successed!
//Save User choices upon errors with SessionStorage
function saveInfo(name) {
//storing the value from the input of the specified input
let store = document.querySelector(`#${name}`).value;
//setting that value in the localstorage
sessionStorage.setItem(name, store);
}
function displayAfter(name) {
//getting the value of the input we stored in saveInfo func and set it to the value of the input after the page loads.
document.querySelector(`#${name}`).value = sessionStorage.getItem(name);
}
function clearAllInputs() {
const allInput = document.querySelectorAll("input");
allInput.forEach(input => {
input.value = "";
})
}
const submitButton = document.querySelector("#submit")
let isClicked = false;
submitButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
isClicked = true;
saveInfo("username");
saveInfo("email");
saveInfo("category");
saveInfo("title");
saveInfo("format");
saveInfo("genre");
saveInfo("year");
saveInfo("details");
});
displayAfter("username");
displayAfter("email");
displayAfter("category");
displayAfter("title");
displayAfter("format");
displayAfter("genre");
displayAfter("year");
displayAfter("details");
if(isClicked) {
setTimeout(() => {
sessionStorage.clear();
clearAllInputs();
},9000)
}
however in this lines:
if(isClicked) {
setTimeout(() => {
sessionStorage.clear();
clearAllInputs();
},9000)
}
I wanted to impement another feature which will clean the inputs and delete the keys from the session storage after a period of time, the logic seem ok but its not working for some reason.
ill be happy if someone can help me :]

17,061 PointsI did what u said and nothing happens.
const submitButton = document.querySelector("#submit")
submitButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
saveInfo("username");
saveInfo("email");
saveInfo("category");
saveInfo("title");
saveInfo("format");
saveInfo("genre");
saveInfo("year");
saveInfo("details");
setTimeout(() => {
sessionStorage.clear();
clearAllInputs();
},9000)
});
