How to use a unique identifier for a set of buttons?


I have broken my problem down to be simple. A guest can post a question and a host can answer them. When the host answers a question, for each question there is a text field with a submit answer button. For the host, there are x amount of buttons on a page at a given time depending on how many questions a guest posts.I am trying to target every submit answer button (that has the same identifier) with a confirm modal. I have managed to target the first button, but for some reason every other button with the same identifier won't target. I also tried to do a for loop through the buttons and essentially wrap a for loop around the sweet alert Javascript to no avail. Here is what I tried. Any help is appreciated.

$(document).ready(function() {
  const btnSubmit = document.querySelector('.q_a');
  btnSubmit.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    console.log(this.id);
    e.preventDefault();
    swal({
        title: 'Confirm',
        text: 'Your question/answer will be publicly visible - it is not a private message. Are you sure you want to proceed?',
        buttons: [
          'No',
          'Yes, I am sure'
        ]
      })
      .then((isConfirm) => {
        if (isConfirm) {
          swal("Confirming...", {
            buttons: false,
          });
          btnSubmit.submit();
        } else {
          return null;
        }
      })
  });
});

Solution

  • i think u should use document.querySelectorAll('.q_a') instead of document.querySelector('.q_a'), and then use for ofto loop each target to bind event。querySelector just return the first matched dom. just like:

        const btnSubmits = document.querySelectorAll('.q_a');
        for(btn of btnSubmits){
         btn.addEventListener('click', function(e){
          ...
         })
       }
