I want to add new text node and a new li element but the result is a new li empty tag and a new separated string.
The string should be inside the created li tag.
Maybe my question is easy to answer but I really still don’t understand how can the a new string can be added inside a tag since they are separately inserted into the DOM.
Inspecting results
any ideas ?
The source code is below
function Adding(){
let li = document.createElement('li')
let inputValue = document.getElementById('text').value;
let t = document.createTextNode(inputValue);
document.getElementById('list').appendChild(li);
document.getElementById('list').appendChild(t);
}
let btn = document.getElementById('btn');
btn.addEventListener('click', Adding)body {
background-color: aliceblue;
}
h1{
display: block;
margin: 10% auto 0 auto;
width: 300px;
color: #96e5ff;
}

display: block;
}
.form{
display: block;
}
input{
display: block;
margin: 10px auto 0 auto;
width: 300px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px #d6eeff solid;
}

}

There’s no need to create a textNode. Just set the innerText property on the <li> element you created, and append the <li> to the <ul> element.
function Adding(){
let li = document.createElement('li')
li.innerText = document.getElementById('text').value;
document.getElementById('list').appendChild(li);
}
let btn = document.getElementById('btn');
btn.addEventListener('click', Adding)body {
background-color: aliceblue;
