Troubleshooting IntersectionObserver Not Responding
In the world of web development, you may encounter various challenges as you implement features using JavaScript. One such challenge is effectively utilizing the IntersectionObserver API, particularly when trying to lazy-load elements as the user scrolls. For beginners, this might seem daunting, especially when you're met with blank pages instead of the intended visual effects.
The Problem
A user recently faced an issue where their IntersectionObserver did not seem to respond. Despite writing the code believed to work fine, they encountered a blank page and did not receive any alerts when testing the functionality. This might be frustrating, especially after investing time and effort into the coding process.
Their Code Overview:
The user provided a snippet of their JavaScript, HTML, and CSS code, which looked like this:
JavaScript:

CSS:

HTML:

The Solution
Upon reviewing the code, the main issue was a mismatch in the class names between the JavaScript and the corresponding HTML/CSS. Let's address this issue step-by-step.
Step 1: Correct the Class Naming
In the provided code, there’s an inconsistency:
In your JS and CSS, the class is defined as .fade-in, while the HTML uses .FadeIn with a capital "F".
To fix this:
Change the CSS/Class in HTML from class="FadeIn" to class="fade-in".
Your updated HTML section should look like this:

Step 2: Update the CSS
If the class name is updated in HTML, ensure the CSS also reflects that:

Step 3: Retesting the JavaScript Code
Now, your JavaScript can remain unchanged because it’s already correctly targeting the class .fade-in. After these adjustments, your intersection observer should respond as expected.
Final Thoughts
Once you've implemented the above changes, everything should work seamlessly, and your lazy-loaded divs should appear as intended when they come into view.
Remember, working with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS requires attention to detail, especially in naming conventions. Ensuring consistency across your code will help prevent frustrating issues like blank pages or non-responsive elements.
