I'm creating a "Social Media Comments Section" (you can add your own comments by typing in the comment box at the bottom.) I want to add an Edit button that can be changed Click the edit button for any comment. I'm very unfamiliar with how to do this. I tried adding a click function that creates a textbox where you can enter text, but it creates a textbox on every comment that has an edit button. How can I make the Edit button more specific to the comment I clicked on?
$(document).ready(function(){
let value;
let storeValues = []
let storeValueName;
let storeValueComment;
$('#addComment').click(function(){
storeValueName = getName();
storeValueComment = getComment();
storeValues.push(storeValueName);
storeValues.push(storeValueComment);
value = getName() + getComment();
function getName(){
let grabName;
$('#name').val(function(i, v){
grabName = v;
})
return grabName;
}
function getComment(){
let grabComment;
$('#bodyText').val(function(i, v){
grabComment = v;
})
return grabComment
}
console.log(storeValues);
$('.eachComment').prepend('<div class="comments">' +'<img class="imgClass" src="userImage.jpg">'+'<p class="nameVal">'
+ storeValueName +'</p>' + '<p class="commentVal">'+ storeValueComment +'</p>'+
'<input type="button" id="edit" value="Edit" />'+ '<input type="button" id="delete" value="Delete" />' + '</div>');
$('#edit').click(function(){
})
})
})

To answer your question in a general sense...
When you add an event listener, the specific element will be displayed on the event's
targetattribute. So if we have something like this:We can actually add a
clickhandler to the div because the event "bubbles" up to it.document.querySelector('.posts').addEventListener('click' (e) => { console.log(e.target.textContent); // Button 1, Button 2, etc. });
