How do I get the ViewButton to not copy the old note.value

//javascript, this is where I'm having the issue
const form = document.querySelector("#Form");
const note = document.querySelector("#Note");
const table = document.querySelector("#noteTable");
const count = 0;
form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
if (note.value !== '') {
const btn = document.createElement("button");
btn.innerHTML = "View Details";
const row = table.insertRow();
const noteRow = row.insertCell();
const viewD = row.insertCell();
noteRow.innerHTML = note.value;
viewD.append(btn);
model.append(note.value);
note.value = "";
btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
model.classList.add("show");
});
const close = document.querySelector("#close");
close.addEventListener("click", () => {
model.classList.remove("show");
});
} else {
alert("Write a note!");
}
});

<h2>NOTE TAKER</h2>
<h6>Add A New Note:</h6>
<form id="Form" action="#">
<label class="ntag" for="note">Note:</label>
<input class="ntag" name="note" id="Note" type="text" placeholder="Write a note">
<button id="Add">Add Note</button>
</form>
<div class="theTable">
<table id="noteTable">

</div>
</div>
I'm not sure why but the notes repeat in the model-container, after you make another note the first one is still there with the second one right after it.
I thought that it could be the placement, so i put it in the btn function, but it duplicated as well; also sorry for how ugly this is, I'm just focused on the JavaScript

If you inspect the source after adding a few notes, you'll notice that it looks like this, assuming I added notes "one", "two" and "three":
It's putting it there because of this line of javascript:
model.append(note.value);
The .append() method doesn't wipe out anything in the <div id="model">, it just adds on to whatever is in there by dumping it after the button or dumping after any existing text.
To avoid erasing the "Close Me" button you'll probably want another div specifically for the text so that instead of using .append() you can just set the .textContent of the element each time. This would be destructive in a way that you wouldn't want to do this on the parent element, because it would wipe out the button. .append() is what is retaining the previous stuff when you click "View Detail."
<div class="model-container" id="model">
<div class="model">
<button class="close" id="close">Close Me</button>
</div>
<div id="txtDetails"><div>
</div>
So instead of using .append() just set the text of <div id="txtDetails"> to what you want it to say by setting the .textContent.
I also added a "data-text" attribute to the button on creation so it would be easier to fish out the text instead of navigating the parent elements and across elements.
Finally, on the click listener event I made it take whatever is stored in the "data-text" attribute and place that into <div id="txtDetails"> so that each "View Details" click would only show what is relevant for that particular note. This method is destructive in that it wipes out and replaces anything in <div id="txtDetails"> with each click but leaves the button in the modal alone.
const form = document.querySelector("#Form");
const note = document.querySelector("#Note");
const table = document.querySelector("#noteTable");
const count = 0;
form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
if(note.value !== '')
{
const btn = document.createElement("button");
btn.innerHTML = "View Details";
btn.setAttribute('data-text', note.value);
const row = table.insertRow();
const noteRow = row.insertCell();
const viewD = row.insertCell();
noteRow.innerHTML = note.value;
viewD.append(btn);
note.value = "";
btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
document.getElementById('txtDetails').textContent = btn.getAttribute('data-text');
model.classList.add("show");
});
const close = document.querySelector("#close");
close.addEventListener("click", () => {
model.classList.remove("show");
});

Hide/Show div and then hide all div

I am trying to make a "meet the staff" section that has hidden bios that display on click. Right now the div displays as it should, but only disappears when the original button is clicked again. I am needing some additional javascript to hide any opened divs when a different (or same) button is clicked. I don't know enough javascript to know what to try in order to make this happen. Thanks in advance!
HTML
<div id="lastname" class="toggle-div" style="display: none;">
<div><p>bio</p>
</div>
</div>
<button class="bio-button" onclick="myBiof()">Click for Bio</button>
Javascript
<script>
function myBiof() {
var y = document.getElementById("lastname");
if (y.style.display === "block") {
y.style.display = "none";
} else {
y.style.display = "block";
}
}
</script>

You will need to add some attributes to your HTML to keep track of which item is active, what item a button controls and which ones should be hidden from screen readers. aria-controls aria-expanded and aria-hidden do just that. Once a button is clicked... if it is currently open, just close it (remove active) and toggle the appropriate attributes. If it is not open, close all of them (remove active), open the one you clicked on (add active) and toggle the appropriate attributes. Here is a simple example:
const buttons = document.querySelectorAll("button");
const people = document.querySelectorAll(".person");
const handleClick = (event) => {
const clickedBtn = event.target;
if (clickedBtn.getAttribute("aria-expanded") === "true") {
let personId = clickedBtn.getAttribute("aria-controls");
let person = document.getElementById(personId);
person.classList.remove("active");
person.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "true");
clickedBtn.setAttribute("aria-expanded", "false");
} else if (clickedBtn.getAttribute("aria-expanded") === "false") {
people.forEach(person => {
person.classList.remove("active")
person.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "true");
});
buttons.forEach(button => button.setAttribute("aria-expanded", "false"));
let personId = clickedBtn.getAttribute("aria-controls");
let person = document.getElementById(personId);
person.classList.add("active");
person.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "false");
clickedBtn.setAttribute("aria-expanded", "true");
}
}
buttons.forEach(button => button.addEventListener("click", handleClick));

How to show different <div> in one modal?

How can i show (toggle) different divs in one modal? Let me explain:
- when i click on "show me more" i wanna trigger modal (and its working in my case)
- next, i close it (it works)
- i wanna trigger modal again but on different div and offcourse i want this div to be in modal again (now thats where i got stuck at).
Below its snippet of my code...
HTML:
<div id="modal" class="modal">
<div class="modal-content">
<span class="close-button">×</span>
<div id="wrapper" class="modified">
<!-- Main -->
<section>
<div class="inner">
<h1 class="major">DJ ZA POROKE</h1>
<p align="justify">some text</p>
<p align="justify">some text</p>
</div>
</section>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS:
var modal = document.querySelector(".modal");
var trigger1 = document.querySelector(".trigger1");
var closeButton = document.querySelector(".close-button");
function toggleModal() {
modal.classList.toggle("show-modal");
}
function windowOnClick(event) {
if (event.target === modal) {
toggleModal();
}
}
trigger1.addEventListener("click", toggleModal);
closeButton.addEventListener("click", toggleModal);
window.addEventListener("click", windowOnClick);
And lets say i trigger it like:
<div class="middle">
<div class="text trigger">Show me more..</div>
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

So to get it right:.
user clicks a button /other element ("show me more") and a
modal is shown with content 1
modal is closed
user clicks again a button /other element ("show me more") and a
modal is shown with content 2.
modal is closed
You have 2 options:
call two different modals identical except for the content -> this can be done with a state var in JS
var stateContent = 0;
and check on the button click event in which state we are
The second more elegant shows/hides the relevant div
HTML addapted
<div id="modal" class="modal">
<div class="modal-content">
<span class="close-button">×</span>
<div id="wrapper" class="modified">
<!-- Main -->
<section>
<div id="content_1" class="inner" style="display: block"> <!-- ID added This part is shown -->
<h1 class="major">DJ ZA POROKE</h1>
<p align="justify">some text</p>
<p align="justify">some text</p>
</div>
<div id="content_2" class="inner" style="display: none"> <!-- ID added This part is hidden -->
<h1 class="major">XY ZZ POROKE</h1>
<p align="justify">some OTHER text</p>
<p align="justify">some OTHER text</p>
</div>
</section>
</div>
</div>
</div>
In javascript you change the display style - for simplification I do it on the close button
closeButton.addEventListener("click", function(e){
switchContent();
toggleModal();
});
New function for doing what we want content switching:
function switchContent(){
var content1 = document.getElementById("content_1");
var content2 = document.getElementById("content_2");
// Check in which state we are
if (content1.style.display === 'none') {
content1.style.display = 'block';
content2.style.display = 'none';
}
else {
content1.style.display = 'none';
content2.style.display = 'block';
}
}

I just opened editor at w3 so i can show directly what i want:

So you see something went wrong, because when i click OPENMODAL2 it freezes. But anyhow, i want 8 different divs to show in 1 modal.

Modal pops up after Ajax call completes instead of before or during

I am trying to get a modal popup to show "Please Wait" while an Ajax call is being made. The pop up occurs only after the call completes.
When I click my web link, everything is working, except the modal popup that is supposed to say "Please Wait" flashes for a split second AFTER the delay that the user is supposed to be asked to wait thru. That is, the modal pops up AFTER the Ajax call is completed instead of before.
When the page loads, it calls AjaxInitialUpdate. This works fine.
The issue is when you click the button that calls AjaxChangePassword.
The function is supposed to pull up a modal, then contact the web server, before finally removing the model and calling the AjaxInitialUpdate function to refresh the whole screen.
The issue is that the AjaxChangePassword modal doesn't pop up until the web query completes (by which time, there is no point in telling the user -- Please Wait).
Now, I am totally self-taught here, so I may be calling things by the wrong name or terms. I welcome any ideas to make it run better, but please be detailed, I'm still very novice in Java.
Also, the last time I did any kind of HTML programming was before Style sheets were the way to go, so I'm kind of having to learn them as well (and refresh on all the rest, so please explain any answer in detail).
Lastly, the server side of this is written in Powershell and is single threaded so I am trying to put as much in the HTML file as possible instead of calling secondary files, like style sheets and images.

When I call AjaxChangePassword(), I expected the modal to open BEFORE the query.
As it is now, if I stop the server after the page loads, but before this function is started, the modal never pops up, then once I start the server side back up, and I see the query come in and get answers, only then does it pop up, and then only for a split second.
What am I doing wrong in the way I am calling it?

As I reviewed your code and found that in the function AjaxChangePassword firstly you opened modal and then called ajax then closed modal the problem is that basically javascript executes synchronously but if there is ajax call then it executes asynchronously, so according to that your modal opens and then call ajax untill ajax is busy in getting response before that next line will be executed that line is for modal close and this happens in the fraction of ms so you don't see anything, And you said that after ajax call modal is showing because in AjaxChangePassword the call back method is AjaxInitialUpdate and also in this method you opened modal then closed but remember in this method you closed modal in the call back method so it appears for some time and you can see so according to me just remove
document.getElementById('myModal1').style.display = "none";
this line from AjaxChangePassword method below is corrected AjaxChangePassword function
function AjaxChangePassword(){
document.getElementById('myModal1').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('myModal2').style.display = "none"; // Make sure its not poped up..
// we need to set item on the modal to explain what we are doing...
document.getElementById("ModalTextLine1").innerHTML="Processing password change request. Please Wait"
var xhr = "";
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// server will check if values are valid..
var Server = document.getElementById("DynServerName").innerHTML;
var AdminID = document.getElementById("DynAdminID").innerHTML;
xhr.open('GET', 'http://PSShellSrv.mydomain.local:80/CyberPass3/?command=update&sub=change&server=' + Server + '/' + AdminID+'&NoCache=' + ((new Date()).getTime()), true);
xhr.responseType = 'text';
xhr.onload = function () {
console.log('Initail Comment Response onpassword change.');
if (xhr.readyState === xhr.DONE) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
document.getElementById('myModal1').style.display = "none";
console.log(xhr.response);
console.log("Report password changed.");
AjaxInitialUpdate() // password changed, lets refresh.
};
};
};
xhr.send(null);
};
and check. I may be wrong but check it.

MyWindow=window.open using pop windows and return to parent page

I am using two buttons in my web page (http://localhost:8088/hse/public/explorer) :
and those button will open a new pop window : (http://localhost:8088/hse/public/explorer/1)
onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://localhost:8088/hse/public/explorer/1','MyWindow',width=300,height=200); return false;">Show Map</button>
This button on clicked it will open a new pop window and inside that pop windows, there will be some HTML links, i want when user click on any of those link , the pop windows close and that link open on the same parent page but different URL (http://localhost:8088/hse/public/explorer/show/1)

Try this.
This wont work when you run the "snippet" ... Create a document and use it there instead.
document.getElementById("button").onclick = evt => {
window.open(window.location.origin + "/hse/public/explorer/1", "MyWindow", "width=300, height=200");
}
<button id="button">Open new window</button>
Update:
Try doing this instead what you described down below. This will do the same, but actually makes sense to use. If you want to create something that is ensured to be userfriendly.
var id_button = document.getElementById("button"),
id_container = document.getElementById("container");
id_button.onclick = evt => {
// show or hide container
if (id_container.classList.contains("hide")) {
id_container.classList.remove("hide");
} else {
id_container.classList.add("hide");
}
}
// add onclick-function for every child of "id_container"
for (var i = 0; i < id_container.childElementCount; i++) {
var child_element = id_container.children[i];
child_element.onclick = evt => {
// check that the element is a "a"-element
if (evt.target.localName == "a") {
window.open(window.location.origin + evt.target.getAttribute("data-link"), "_blank");
}
}
}
.container {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
}
.hide {
display: none;
}
<button id="button">Show/hide all links</button>
<br><br>
<div id="container" class="container hide">
Link1
<br>
Link2
<br>
Link3
</div>
