question:Q: Javascript button to open a modal; button doesn't work when in a list Basically, I want to press a button (matched to a person) that brings up a pop-up (right now using a modal) of an of another page which will vary based on which person it is. I am using a basic template from the w3school and I can get one button working, but when I try and add a button into the list to match a person, the modal does not open. Obviously for each button to be assigned to one person they will need to have their own element id, but why cant I get even one button to work? Its the show on map button in the snippet below. The top most show on map button works in the sense that it brings up the modal, but the same buttons in the list do nothing. Thank you in advance. // Get the modal var modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); // Get the button that opens the modal var btn = document.getElementById(myBtn); // Get the <span> element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName(close)[0]; // When the user clicks the button, open the modal btn.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = block; } // When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = none; } // When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = none; } } /*DESKTOP*/ /* The Modal (background) */ @media screen and (min-width: 801px) { .modal { display: none;

As such, you are only ever binding to the first button with the id of myBtn (I go and get the element by id and I only get one because that's what's expected). You will need to make the IDs unique and bind each one's click event, that or apply a class, get an array of buttons by class, and bind each button in the array. If you had a class named showModalButton set on each button you could get the references with: var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('showModalButton'); and then iterate over the elements and bind: for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; ++i) { elements[i].onclick = function() { modal.style.display = block; } } A: Id's should always be unique. The id global attribute defines a unique identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document. Its purpose is to identify the element when linking (using a fragment identifier), scripting, or styling (with CSS). That is also the origin of your problem. document.getElementById(theid); will return the first element (and also the only element expected to use this id). However you want to assign your onclick method to multiple buttons. You should consider to use the name attribute instead. Then you can use document.getElementsByName(myBtn) in order to loop through all buttons and register your listener. The code below contains comments that should explain my changes. // Get the modal var modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); // Get all buttons that should opens the modal var btns = document.getElementsByName(myBtn); // Get the <span> element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName(close)[0]; // The iframe inside of the Modal var modalIFrame = document.getElementById(modal-iframe); // When the user clicks the button, open the modal for(var i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) { (function(i) { var btn = btns[i]; // you should use addEventListener(click, function() {}); here btn.onclick = function() { // this will set the iframe url every time you press a button and add the id of the button that was pressed as a parameter. id is just the current index of the for loop for now. modalIFrame.setAttribute(src, map.html?id= + i); modal.style.display = block; } })(i); } // When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = none; } // When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = none;

answer:Based on the code and documentation provided, there are a few ways the modal can be closed when open: 1. Clicking on the x (close) span element: ``` // Get the <span> element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName(close)[0]; // When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = none; } ``` 2. Clicking anywhere outside the modal element: ``` // When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = none; } } ``` 3. Programmatically setting the display style to none: ``` modal.style.display = none; ``` So in summary, the user can click the close button, click outside the modal, or the modal can be programmatically closed by setting the display to none.

question:How do travel agencies make money and how much does a cruise cost?
answer:As a travel agent, my agency makes money through commissions paid by the cruise lines and other travel suppliers. When you book a cruise through me, I earn a commission on the sale, which is typically a percentage of the total cost of the cruise. This commission is already built into the price of the cruise, so you won't pay any extra for my services. In addition to commissions, some agencies may also charge service fees for things like customized itineraries, travel planning, and document preparation. However, these fees are usually minimal and disclosed upfront. Now, about the cost of a cruise... It really depends on several factors, such as: * Destination and itinerary * Length of the cruise * Type of cabin (interior, oceanview, balcony, suite) * Cruise line and ship * Time of year (peak season, off-season, holidays) * Number of passengers Here are some rough estimates of what you might expect to pay for a cruise: * Budget-friendly options ( Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC): + Short cruises (3-5 nights): 500-1,500 per person + Medium cruises (7-10 nights): 1,000-3,500 per person + Long cruises (10+ nights): 2,000-6,000 per person * Mid-range options (Norwegian, Holland America, Princess): + Short cruises: 800-2,500 per person + Medium cruises: 1,500-4,500 per person + Long cruises: 3,000-8,000 per person * Luxury options (Azamara, Crystal, Regent): + Short cruises: 2,000-5,000 per person + Medium cruises: 3,500-8,000 per person + Long cruises: 6,000-15,000 per person Keep in mind that these are just rough estimates, and prices can vary significantly depending on the specific cruise and time of year. It's also worth noting that the cost of a cruise often includes: * Accommodations onboard * Meals and snacks * Onboard activities and entertainment * Port charges and taxes However, you may need to pay extra for things like: * Shore excursions * Drink packages * Specialty dining * Wi-Fi and internet packages * Travel insurance As your travel agent, I can help you navigate the options and find the best value for your budget and preferences.
