A daily audio journal of my journey going through the '100 days of code' challenge. In season one, I concentrate on learning modern JavaScript ES6 and building basic web apps with it. Join me as I review my daily progress, trials and tribulations whilst going though the program and hacking apps togethe. I'm hoping to get some guests on from the 100 days and dev community as well!

Reading and watching video series about XSS
Wrote my own JSON file containing sample of Blackpool footballers data and got that to display in the quote box. Did this by parsing the JSON file and converting it into an array.

Day 20 - How do you handle line breaks?
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;

Day 19 - Making simple stuff
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

Day 18 - Inline form validation with keypress event listener
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.
