Spent all day trying to write a script to fix the line break problem, but found you could achieve the result with one line of CSS!  Good old Stack Overflow to the rescue! white-space: pre-wrap; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40417527/how-do-i-preserve-line-breaks-when-getting-text-from-a-textarea/40426477 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message

Decided to knock the official course on the top of of the head for a bit and write some little challenges that I found here: https://gomakethings.com/vanilla-js-projects-for-total-beginners/ First up, was a simple challenge, show and hide and DIV with a button https://gist.github.com/cferdinandi/3f90b47bf442512d555211c38ff8e569 Second was a challenge to mirror text typed from a text-area into another on screen DIV https://gist.github.com/cferdinandi/6c842518ce8df6bd6c229783019c0d08 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message

Attached keyboard event listener ‘keyup’ to username field - so this is the 'target' of the listener. So whenever a key is pressed on the keyboard, the event fires and my callback function runs which takes in the keyboard event object. Then used the test() method  to compare the value property of the keyboard event object with the regex pattern to see if it passed the test and validated. Wrote a cople of CSS classes (success and error) to make the border of the username field red or green. Then wrote an IF statement within the callback function to apply the green ‘success’ border to the username field if a valid username is entered and red ‘error’ border if not.  This was done with the setAttributre method which overrides the class attribute as appropriate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message

Wrote basic REGEX matching pattern for username form validation Learned about the test() method, which compares a regex with a string.  This returns a boolean value which I used as the test value in an IF statement when showing the correct validation message to the user --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message

Learnt when attaching an event listener on a form, you always attach it to the <form> element and NOT to the button itself. Learnt about using the ‘event object’ and what you can do with it Prevent default 'refresh' behaviour of the submit event Firefox devtools is better than Chrome here as it visually shows you when you have selected the field. Get a reference to the username field and log it to the console.  Clue - use the ID of the input field. Regex basics.  A regular expression (regex) is a matching pattern that only allows a certain combination or pattern of characters to be entered i.e. 4-18 characters and only containing letters and numbers --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message

Learned about events and event listeners, including event bubbling and delegation Watched videos on events and wrote a small page with a popup modal using the addEventListener method and click event to turn the modal on and close it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/100-days-code/message
