Stack Overflow Asked by OJM on December 6, 2020
I’m currently building a Twitter clone for my portfolio using Web Component’s template feature. However, my template isn’t rendering on screen when the tweet button is clicked. I’m currently getting an error ‘Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property ‘innerHTML’ of null at HTMLButtonElement.postTweetButton.onclick‘.
I have attempted moving the ‘tweetText.innerHTML = tweetBoxInput;’ line around to no avail. My tweetText variable’s value is correct so I’m not sure why the property cannot set. I suspect it’s to do with the template not importing correctly.
JS FIDDLE: https://jsfiddle.net/manoj1234/mty68qng/13/
Help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
JS:
window.onload = () => {
const createTweetContainer = document.getElementById("createTweetContainer");
const createTweetButton = document.getElementById("createTweetButton");
const backArrow = document.getElementById("backArrow");
const tweetBox = document.getElementById("tweetBox");
let tweetBoxInput;
const pinnedTweet = document.getElementById("pinnedTweet");
const tweetContainer = document.getElementById("tweetContainer");
const tweetSentContainer = document.getElementById("tweetSentContainer");
createTweetButton.onclick = () => {
createTweetContainer.style.display = "block";
tweetBox.value = "";
}
backArrow.onclick = () => {
createTweetContainer.style.display = "none";
}
postTweetButton.onclick = () => {
var tweetText = document.getElementById("tweetText");
console.log(tweetBox.value);
tweetBoxInput = tweetBox.value;
if (tweetBoxInput == "") {
console.log("please write tweet");
} else {
createTweetContainer.style.display = "none";
tweetSentContainer.style.display = "flex";
var tweetTemplate = document.getElementById("tweet-template");
var tweetInstance = document.importNode(tweetTemplate.content, true);
tweetText.innerHTML = tweetBoxInput;
pinnedTweet.after(tweetInstance);
/* Show Tweet Sent container*/
setTimeout(() => {
tweetSentContainer.style.height = "30px";
}, 1000);
setTimeout(() => {
tweetSentContainer.style.opacity = "1";
}, 1300);
/* End of Show Tweet Sent container */
/* Hide Tweet Sent container */
setTimeout(() => {
tweetSentContainer.style.opacity = "0";
}, 5000);
setTimeout(() => {
tweetSentContainer.style.height = "0";
tweetSentContainer.style.marginBottom = "0";
}, 5300);
setTimeout(() => {
tweetSentContainer.style.display = "none";
tweetSentContainer.style.marginBottom = "12px";
}, 8000);
/*End of Hide Tweet Sent container */
}

I realised I was attempting to change the original template's p tag rather than the imported node. I added tweetInstance.querySelectorAll(‘p’)[0].innerHTML = tweetBoxInput; which changes the text of the new node.
