What am I doing wrong? Any idea how to make this accordion menu work?
I’ve been trying to figure out why my accordion menu for a Frontend Challenge isn’t working. It’s currently throwing the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘toggle’) at HTMLButtonElement.<anonymous>
This error is from Google dev tools. My active
class is defined in my css file. I’m trying to make it toggle between two classes when my button is active but I haven’t been able to activate it or toggle it at all.
Can someone help me get an idea of what’s going on?
These are snippets of my code.
const acc = document.getElementsByClassName("accordion_btn");
var i;
for (let i = 0; i < acc.length; i++) {
acc[i].addEventListener("click", (event) => {
this.classList.toggle("active");
this.classList.toggle("accordion_btn:hover");
const panel = this.nextElementSibling;
if (panel.style.display === "block") {
panel.style.display = "none";
} else {
panel.style.display = "block";
}
});
}
.accordion_btn {
width: 100%;
background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 100%);
text-align: left;
border: none;
outline: none;
margin: 20px 0;
transition: 0.4s;
}
.accordion_btn:hover {
background-color: hsl(276, 51%, 90%);
}
.active {
background-color: red;
}
.panel {
font-weight: 400;
color: hsl(292, 16%, 49%);
display: none;
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 20px;
text-align: left;
}

I tried changing my variable declarations with var
and const
but that probably has nothing to do with it? I also tried adding defer to my script tag in my original HTML file.
