The JavaScript in this code utilizes the Fetch API to retrieve the content of a text file based on the user’s selection from a dropdown menu. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Event Listener: The script adds an event listener to the dropdown menu (select element).
Whenever the user selects an option from the dropdown, this event listener triggers the updateDisplay() function, passing the value of the selected option (which corresponds to a text file).
updateDisplay() Function: This function is responsible for fetching and displaying the content of the selected text file.
- It constructs the URL of the text file based on the selected option.
- Uses
fetch()to make a GET request to that URL.- If the request is successful (
response.ok), it extracts the text content from the response usingresponse.text().- The content is then displayed in a
preelement on the webpage (poemDisplay).- If an error occurs during fetching, it catches the error and displays a corresponding message in
poemDisplay.
So, in summary, this JavaScript code enables dynamic loading of text content into the webpage based on the user’s selection, using the Fetch API to retrieve the content asynchronously from a server.
