Introduction

Have you ever wanted to add a little interactivity to your web pages? A common feature is toggling a button's text, like changing it from "Add to list" to "Added to list". This seemingly small change can enhance user experience by providing immediate feedback. In this post, we'll explore how to seamlessly implement this functionality using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The Problem

Imagine you have a button that allows users to add items to a list. At first, the button displays "Add to list", but once clicked, it should update to "Added to list" to indicate success. However, figuring out where to implement the code for this toggle can be tricky, especially if you're new to programming.

The Solution: Toggling Button Text with JavaScript

To achieve the desired text toggle on the button click, follow these structured steps. We will break down the code needed for this functionality.

Step 1: Define the HTML Structure

Start by ensuring you have your button within your HTML file. Here's an example:

Step 2: Write the JavaScript Logic

Add the JavaScript code that manages the text change. We will write a function that checks the current value and switches it accordingly.

Code Breakdown

The changeText Function: This function takes a button as an argument. It checks if the button's current value is 'Add to list' or if it's empty. If either condition is true, it changes the text to 'Added to list'. If the button text is already 'Added to list', it will revert back to 'Add to list'.

Event Listener: We attach an event listener to each button in our document. This ensures the changeText function is triggered upon clicking any button.

Step 3: Style Your Button

Ensure your button looks great! Here's some CSS to style the button:
