javascript on a webpage displaying text wrongly

I have JS code on a webpage that loads questions in from mysql db and displays the text . What happens is that it cuts off words at the end of the line and continues the word on the next line at the start. So all text across the screen starts/ends at the same point.
This seems to be the code where it displays the text.
For example the text will look like at the end of a line 'cont' and then on next line at the start 'inue'.
How do i fix this?

I'm guessing that #question{ word-break: break-all; } is probably the culprit then? –
CB..yes that fixed it:)

Changing background color doesn't work well

I am trying to change the background color of my webpage using a hamburger menu. There are 4 color options on my hamburger menu. I managed to get a change on the background when clicking on the color of my choice. But that change only happens once. When I clicked another color and come back to click that same color from earlier on, it doesn't respond. The color seems to change only once, and not more than that.
The repository to my GitHub code is here: https://github.com/tand100b/Winc_Academy
const changeColorButton1 = document.getElementById("color1");
changeColorButton1.addEventListener("click", function() {
changeClassRedBackground();
});
const changeColorButton2 = document.getElementById("color2");
changeColorButton2.addEventListener("click", function() {
changeClassOrangeBackground();
});
const changeColorButton3 = document.getElementById("color3");
changeColorButton3.addEventListener("click", function() {
changeClassPurpleBackground();
});
const changeColorButton4 = document.getElementById("color4");
changeColorButton4.addEventListener("click", function() {
changeClassGreenBackground();
});
const changeClassRedBackground = function() {
const bodyElement = document.body;
bodyElement.classList.add("red-background");
}
const changeClassOrangeBackground = function() {
const bodyElement = document.body;
bodyElement.classList.add("orange-background");
};
const changeClassPurpleBackground = function() {
const bodyElement = document.body;
bodyElement.classList.add("purple-background");
};
const changeClassGreenBackground = function() {
const bodyElement = document.body;
bodyElement.classList.add("green-background");
};
body {
background-color: pink;
}
.red-background {
background-color: red;
}
.orange-background {
background-color: orange;
}
.purple-background {
background-color: purple;

Can someone please look at my code and suggest what I can do?

Firstly, I suggest declaring variable bodyElement only once at the top of the file because each time it would be the same body element:
const bodyElement = document.body
Next, we create function that will check if body has any style classes in its classList. If it's not empty (length more than one) we remove all classes, and do nothing otherwise:
const isBodyHasStyle = () => bodyElement.classList.length ? bodyElement.classList = '' : null
Then, on each button click we going to call our new function:
changeColorButton1.addEventListener("click", function() {
isBodyHasStyle()
changeClassRedBackground();
});
Do the same with other buttons.

You need to make sure that you don't have multiple classes conflicting with each other, also try to DRY your code, here is an alternative I came up with:
const changeColor = (e) => {
const bodyElement = document.querySelector('body');
const colorIdMap = {
"color1": "red-background",
"color2": "orange-background",
"color3": "purple-background",
"color4": "green-background"
}
bodyElement.className = colorIdMap[e.target.id];
}
const btns = document.querySelectorAll('.list li');
btns.forEach(btn => btn.addEventListener('click', changeColor))

An easier way to accomplish this is by setting a data attribute on the background, based on the selected color. Just add a color data value to each of the menu items and set the body background to that color.
const toggleMenu = (event) => {
event.target.closest('.navbar').classList.toggle('open');
};
const changeColor = (event) => {
document.body.dataset.background = event.target.dataset.color;
toggleMenu(event); /* do not call ~ to stay open */
};
document.querySelector('.btn-toggle-nav')
.addEventListener('click', toggleMenu)
document.querySelectorAll('.color-picker')
.forEach(e => e.addEventListener('click', changeColor));

localStorage does not save/show items

I do my ToDo list. (I learn vanilla JS). And I have some problem with saving some items to localStorage. When I use Google chrome(F12), I see undefiend. Maybe, I do not save correctly to localStorage. I tried to change var task to array, but it does not help. Pleas, show me my mistakes. I know, my code must be rewritten, it is my first code on JS.

When you add an element to the page, at a certain point you do this
task = document.createTextNode(addField);
Since task is a global variable (you declared it at the top), you're overshadowing it with the TextNode you're creating, so that when you then call toLocal and you do
forTask = task.innerHTML;
task has no innerHTML attribute, so it returns undefined.
Also, for some reason, you call toLocal again at the end of newElement. It's not the problem but it's something you may want to think about. I'm not sure it's what you want.
#TakayashiHarano gave a couple of hints to solve this, but I'm not sure what you want is just to have the latest element in the local storage. So I would re-write toLocal so that it takes a string (the text of the item) as input, writes it at the end of a JSON array (already populated with what was in the local storage previously), and puts the array back in local storage.
function toLocal(toAdd) {
let storage = localStorage.getItem('forLocal');
if (storage === null) {
storage = [];
} else {
storage = JSON.parse(storage);
}
storage.push(toAdd);
localStorage.setItem('forLocal', JSON.stringify(storage));
}
Then you should modify the part of the code that reads the local storage (the one at the end) to basically simulate adding a new item as you would do when creating a new task, but for each item in the parsed JSON coming from local storage.
To be fair, your code needs a good dose of rewriting to achieve this, so I'll just leave you with this as an exercise.

The following changes are needed.
1 - Set up two variables separably for the following task variable.
var task = document.querySelector("ul");
task = document.createTextNode(addField);
For example, "ulElement" for the first one, and "task" for the second one.
This is to prevent to override the previously defined value.
2 - Move the timing for obtaining the ul element and load localStorage.
function onReady() {
ulElement = document.querySelector("ul");
if(localStorage.getItem("forLocal")){
ulElement.innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("forLocal");
}
}
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onReady, true);
To ensure the element existence, document.querySelector() should be called after the DOMContentLoaded event fired.

3 - Delete toLocal(); in the end of the newElement() function.
As far as my testing code, there is no need this statement.

Search/Filter Dropdown Javascript

I'm following this guide to create Search/Filter Dropdown.
But I have this method 'allNameMuseums()', that returns an array of names (for example :
array = ["Jack", "Paul", "George"]
My JS code :
async function allNameMuseums() {
let nomeFile = "dati_musei_infovis.csv";
let data3 = await d3.dsv(";", nomeFile, function (d) {
return {
Museo: d.Museo,
Ingresso: d.Ingresso,
Anno: d.Anno,
Mese: d.Mese,
Visitatori: d.Visitatori
};
});
return filtraggioNomeMuseo(data3);
};
function filtraggioNomeMuseo(data) {
array_filtrato = [];
var map = {};
//var visitatori = 0;
for (i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
if (!(array_filtrato.includes(data[i].Museo))) {
array_filtrato.push(data[i].Museo)
}
}
return array_filtrato;
}
I want to put these names instead of About, Base, Blog etc...

You could loop through the returned array and append the names as anchors to the dropdown like :
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
allNameMuseums().forEach(function(item){
document.getElementById("myDropdown").innerHTML += ''+item+'';
})
});
NOTE: Put your code inside DOMContentLoaded event listener to make sure all the DOM elements are loaded before executing your code/
Working sample:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
allNameMuseums().forEach(function(item) {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").innerHTML += '' + item + '';
})
});
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
function filterFunction() {
var input, filter, ul, li, a, i;
input = document.getElementById("myInput");
filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
div = document.getElementById("myDropdown");
a = div.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i].innerHTML.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
a[i].style.display = "";
} else {
a[i].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
function allNameMuseums() {
return ["Jack", "Paul", "George"];
}
