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:)

How do I use drag and drop with dynamically created HTML? (SortableJS)

I'm starting to learn javascript and I have a simple todo application where I want to be able to drag and drop the different todo's created. A simple way to do this was with SortableJS library, but it doesn't work the way i want to. After implementing the simple sortable function, when dragging on a todo, it grabs the whole todo-list instead of a single todo
I think the issue is because I dynamically create the html, but I'm kinda stuck and would appreciate any suggestions.
//Selectors
const todoInput = document.querySelector(".todos-input"); //input for adding a todo
const todoButton = document.querySelector(".todos-button"); //add todo-button
const todoList = document.querySelector(".todos-list"); //the todo-list
//Event listeners
todoButton.addEventListener("click", addTodo);
todoList.addEventListener("click", deleteTodo);
todoList.addEventListener("click", completeTodo);
//Functions
function addTodo(event) {
//prevent form from submitting
event.preventDefault();
//create a div for the todos-list
const todoDiv = document.createElement("div");
//add classlist for styling
todoDiv.classList.add("todo");
//Create LI
const newTodo = document.createElement("li");
//output the value from the add-todo field
if (todoInput.value != "") {
newTodo.innerText = todoInput.value;
} else {
return false;
}
//classlist for styling
newTodo.classList.add("todo-item");
//append child to div
todoDiv.appendChild(newTodo);
//complete button
const completedButton = document.createElement("button");
completedButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fas fa-check"><i/>';
completedButton.classList.add("completed-btn");
todoDiv.appendChild(completedButton);
//delete button
const deletedButton = document.createElement("button");
deletedButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fas fa-trash"><i/>';
deletedButton.classList.add("deleted-btn");
todoDiv.appendChild(deletedButton);
//drag button
const dragButton = document.createElement("button");
dragButton.innerHTML = '<i class="icon fa fa-bars"><i/>';
dragButton.classList.add("drag-btn");
dragButton.classList.add("handle");
todoDiv.appendChild(dragButton);
//append div to list of todos
todoList.appendChild(todoDiv);
//clear input field after adding a new todo
todoInput.value = "";
//DRAG AND DROP
const dragArea = document.querySelector('.todos-section');
new Sortable(dragArea, {
animation: 300
});
}
//deleting todo
function deleteTodo(e) {
//grab the item, whatever we are clicking on
const item = e.target;
//delete todo
if (item.classList[0] === "deleted-btn") {
//grab the parent element of the item, which is the todolist element in this case
const todo = item.parentElement;
//remove the todo
todo.remove();
}
}
//completing todo
function completeTodo(e) {
//grab the item, whatever we are clicking on
const item = e.target;
//complete todo
if (item.classList[0] === "completed-btn") {
const todo = item.parentElement;
//use the toggle because if the element has a class, then the classList.toggle method
//behaves like classList.remove and the class is removed from the element.
//And if the element does not have the specified class
//then classList.toggle, just like classList.add, adds this class to the element.
//So it basically does the add/remove operation for us depending on the state.
todo.classList.toggle("completed-todo");
}

According to the documentation,
You can use any element for the list and its elements, not just ul/li
What you've implemented actually fits in this description since there is a ul with div tags inside. However, you are not referencing the right element in the dragArea, because it should be the direct parent (.todos-list) of your desired draggable children.
So, change it to .todos-list and in addition pass handle property to Sortable constructor to reference the icon in which you want to drag.
const dragArea = document.querySelector('.todos-list');
new Sortable(dragArea, {
animation: 300,
handle: '.fa-bars'
})
Working example

First click is not working in javascript for manipulating DOM elements

I am working on one JavaScript project, where I need to toggle between Dark and Light mode.
The HTML is here.
var btnToggle = document.getElementById("btn-toggle")
var btnToggleIcon = document.getElementById("btn-toggle-icon")
var isDark = true;
btnToggleIcon.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (isDark) {
console.log(btnToggle.style)
btnToggle.style.justifyContent = "flex-start";
isDark = false;
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color1', '#10111f');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bg1', 'linear-gradient(145deg, #111221, #0e0f1c)');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color5', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bs', '9px 9px 23px #0f111a, -9px -9px 20px #1a1b32');
document.getElementById("toggle-img").src = "https://img.icons8.com/ios/2x/moon-man.png"
} else {
console.log(btnToggle.style)
btnToggle.style.justifyContent = "flex-end";
isDark = true;
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color1', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bg1', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color5', '#10111f');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bs', '20px 20px 60px #bebebe,20px 20px 60px #ffffff');
document.getElementById("toggle-img").src = "https://img.icons8.com/fluent-systems-regular/2x/sun.png"
}
})
:root {

--color2: #6c6c76;
--color3: #265385;

}

<div class="btn-toggle" id="btn-toggle">
<div class="btn-toggle-icon" id="btn-toggle-icon">
<img id="toggle-img" src="https://img.icons8.com/ios/2x/moon-man.png" alt="" />
</div>
</div>
When I click first time on icon but nothing gets changed. But after first click on every click code's running perfectly well.
So please solve this error.

you misinterpret the state, your if(isDark) check the previous state.
i.e. if isDark == true then you should change icon to sun
var btnToggle = document.getElementById("btn-toggle")
var btnToggleIcon = document.getElementById("btn-toggle-icon")
var isDark = true;
btnToggleIcon.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (isDark) {
isDark = false;
//at this point it's not dark
document.getElementById("toggle-img").src = "https://img.icons8.com/fluent-systems-regular/2x/sun.png"
} else {
isDark = true;
//at this point it's dark
document.getElementById("toggle-img").src = "https://img.icons8.com/ios/2x/moon-man.png"
}
})
<div class="btn-toggle" id="btn-toggle">
<div class="btn-toggle-icon" id="btn-toggle-icon">
<img id="toggle-img" src="https://img.icons8.com/ios/2x/moon-man.png" alt="" />
</div>
</div>

Your logic is wrong.
You need to change the variable before the check.
btnToggleIcon.addEventListener("click", () => {
isDark = !isDark;
if (isDark) {
console.log(btnToggle.style)
btnToggle.style.justifyContent = "flex-start";
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color1', '#10111f');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bg1', 'linear-gradient(145deg, #111221, #0e0f1c)');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color5', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bs', '9px 9px 23px #0f111a, -9px -9px 20px #1a1b32');
document.getElementById("toggle-img").src = "https://img.icons8.com/ios/2x/moon-man.png"
} else {
console.log(btnToggle.style)
btnToggle.style.justifyContent = "flex-end";
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color1', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bg1', '#f1f1f3');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--color5', '#10111f');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--bs', '20px 20px 60px #bebebe,20px 20px 60px #ffffff');

localStorage does not save/show items

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.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/DOMContentLoaded_event
3 - Delete toLocal(); in the end of the newElement() function.
As far as my testing code, there is no need this statement.

Sorting an unordered list with JavaScript

I have an unordered list.
This list has elements with checkboxes in it. If you check in a checkbox, the list element goes to the bottom of the list. when you check out one of the checkboxes, it has to go back to its original place. so far, I managed.
BUT. Take the following situation: You checked in all the checkboxes, and they seem to align according to their original place. Now, when you check out a list element, it will stuck between to other elements, which are on their place, but they are checked in. I want that in that case, the checked off box will be the first in the list. Then, when you check off the next box, that one will now be on the right place, aligning with thee unchecked boxes only.
TL;DR:
I have to make a To Do list, the 'done' elements go to the bottom, the undone elements sorted above, according to their timestamp.

Manage your tasks list in javascript and update the HTML whenever a checkbox value is changed or task is added:
var inputArea = document.getElementById('todo-input')
var list = document.getElementById("tasks");
var tasks = [];
function loaded() {
inputArea.value = "";
inputArea.focus();
}
function update(){
list.innerHTML = '';
// Sort the tasks on done boolean
tasks.sort(function(x, y) {
return (x.done === y.done)? 0 : x.done ? 1 : -1;
});
for(var i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++){
var item = tasks[i];
var task = document.createElement("li")
var text = document.createElement("span");
var checkBox = document.createElement("input");
text.innerHTML = item.task;
text.style.color = 'black';
checkBox.setAttribute("type", "checkbox");
checkBox.addEventListener("change", (function(t){
return function(){
tasks[t].done = this.checked;
console.log(tasks[t]);
update();
}
}(i)));
if(item.done){
checkBox.checked = true;
text.style.textDecoration = 'line-through'
}
task.appendChild(checkBox);
task.appendChild(text);
list.appendChild(task);
}
}
function addTask() {
tasks.push({
id: tasks.length ? tasks[tasks.length - 1].timestamp.getTime() : +new Date(),
done: false,
timestamp: new Date(),
task: inputArea.value
});
update();
loaded();
}
Codepen

I guess you have to make an object structure as
function Task(id,itemName,timeStamp,isCompleted){
this.id=id;
this.itemName=itemName;
this.time=timeStamp;
this.completed=isCompleted;
}
var Tasks=[];
while adding each task,you have to save in such format.
So whenever a task is completed ,you would set completed to true . For all the uncompleted tasks all you need to do is to sort based on their time or based on their name
Hope this helps
