Question

The code works except one small problem, whenevr i use text like Lorem Ipsum and i copy and paste that into my code it does something strange, it doesnt fully type the text. Any clues on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Did you type in a text longer than 100 characters? There's a maximum of input characters, at least in sololearn...

Answer 2

onload just makes sure that the js is executed when the html is loaded

Answer 3

use window.onload when you are using Sololearn's javascript tab. It makes sure that the html is loaded first, so it can find the DOM elements.

Answer 4

It's trying to get the html element before it is loaded.

Put all the js inside of

window.onload = function() {
// your js
}

Answer 5

Its still not working

Answer 6

I entered "Hello world" and ut was typed

Answer 7

No but if u typed in the Loreum Ipsum the thing kindof just breaks

Answer 8

I just tried with 99 charcters and its still doing it, it could do with the amount of lines or something

Answer 9

Maybe newline characters? You could try to remove them from the string before the animation starts

Answer 10

Okay, heres a better example, when you put into the prompt box and say “This is my demo” it will not make the demo come out, try it and youll see

Answer 11

Why did you remove window.onload? Now I get the same type error as in the beginning

Answer 12

Ye, sorry forgot to save but it still dont work

Answer 13

Seems to work for me?

Which error message exactly do you get?

Answer 14

It didnt give me an error message it just stops the whole thing, did you type what i said? Lisa

Answer 15

What do you mean "it stops"?

The text gets typed, then it stays on screen.

Answer 16

Ok, ye its workinng fine i was using mobile but i just tried it in pc and its working fine

Answer 17

Answer 20

Your Mom
Sololearn seems to have a limit on the length of the input in the prompt...
maybe use a text input element instead?

something like this:
