• Select and submit a number rating
• See the "Thank you" card state after submitting a rating
• If no rating is selected the submit button would be disabled

What I learned

For some reason i could not get get hiding one container and showing another simultaneously to work as I thought. hmmm

culprit found css was not working because i used

.thankyou-card-container .hide 

with a space between instead of this

.thankyou-card-container.hide 

That slight difference made the code fail. Another logic I encountered was if no score is selected what happens. I made the button disabled.

To see how you can add code snippets, see below:

Continued development

• Would love to add animations to the elements on load.
• Add jiggle animation when no score is selected on submit

Useful resources

• event.target.id VS event.currentTarget.id VS this.id - I wanted to know the differences between them and use cases, this thread helped.
• Check for null in JavaScript - I was not sure what equality to use in this instance so this article helped.
