How to show a response when filtering through a list of elements using javascript

Hello I am creating an FAQ page that has to be filtered using javascript as below
Credit : https://makitweb.com/jquery-search-text-in-the-element-with-contains-selector/
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#filter').keyup(function () {
// Search text
var text = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
var error = document.getElementById("error");
// Hide all content class element
$('.mobrog-ux-text').hide();
// Search
$('.mobrog-ux-text').each(function () {
if ($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("" + text + "") != -1) {
$(this).closest('.mobrog-ux-text').show();
setTimeout(
function () {
var x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
x.style.display = "none";
}, 4000);
error.style.display = "none";
}
else if($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("" + text + "") == 0) {
error.style.display = "block";
}
});
});
});
<form align="center">
<input id="filter" onkeydown="keydownFunction()" oninput="keyPress(this.value)" class="searchfield" type="text"
name="search" placeholder="Search the help center">
</form>
<div style="color: white;padding : 10px" align="center"></div>
</div>
<div class="content2">
<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<div id"pag"="id" pag""="pag" ""></div>
<div align="center" class="col-10">
<div class="mobrog-tab-container maxwidth">
<div id="myDIV" class="loader"></div>
<div class="error" id="error"> No result found!!</div>
<div id="results" class="mobrog-ux-vertical-tabs">
<div id="tar" class="mobrog-tabs">
<button data-tab="tab1" class="active">sample tab button?<span></span></button>
<button class="empty"></button>
</div>
<div class="mobrog-maincontent">
<div data-tab="tab1" class="mobrog-tabcontent active">
<div class="mobrog-ux-text">
<button class="mobrog-accordion">sample button</button>
<div class="mobrog-panel">
<p>
sample text
</p>
</div>
</div>
Which works, but then I am trying to show a message when the filtered word is not found within the list of DIVS I'm searching through on my FAQ page
I tried the below with
else if ($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("" + text + "") == 0) {
//error message display
}
But then it does not work
(e.g when I type in a word which does not exist within my FAQ I want to display an error message which is in a div) and vice versa when the word is found in my FAQ page)
like the way its been used in the method of RegExp
Live search on an Div with input filter
at the moment when I type in available and unavailable words the error message appears
Please how do I effectively display a message when a filtered word is found or not found
Thanks

Expanding on my comment, this is an example of how you could implement something like this.
To reiterate - the main problem was that the error was being shown if any result didn't match instead of showing if none match
To fix that, we can add a variable outside the loop to determine if any result was matched
$(document)
.ready(function () {
$('#filter')
.keyup(function () {
// Search text
var text = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
var error = document.getElementById("error");
// storing this in a variable will reduce how many times you call the function
var $ux_texts = $('.mobrog-ux-text');
// Hide all content class element
$ux_texts.hide();
// variable to update if any match is found
var has_match = false;
// Search
$ux_texts
.each(function () {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.text().toLowerCase().indexOf("" + text + "") === -1) {
// flip the logic so we can return early - makes for cleaner code
return;
}
$this.closest('.mobrog-ux-text').show();
setTimeout(function () {
var x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
x.style.display = "none";
}, 4000);
has_match = true;
});
// error handling
if (has_match) {
error.style.display = "none";
} else {
error.style.display = "block";
}
});
});

Hide/Show button + not valid HTML

First Question: On W3 HTML Validator I get the following error:
Attribute value not allowed on element input at this point.
But, in my code, I am using the 'value' to change images so how could I fix this?
Second question: I need the image to remain the same even when I refresh. I am new to Javascript, but I know I need to utilise cookies or local storage in some way. Can someone help with this?
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").on("click", function() {
$("#collapse").slideToggle("slow");
if ($(this).val() == "Hide") {
$(this).val("Show");
$(this).attr("src","https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d35f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1");
} else {
$(this).val("Hide");
$(this).attr("src","https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d00f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1");
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="image" value="Hide" id="button" src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d00f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1"></button>
<div id="collapse">
Hello
</div>

If you just want to make the HTML valid, the simplest tweak would be to use a class or data attribute instead.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").on("click", function() {
$("#collapse").slideToggle("slow");
if ($(this).data('status') == "Hide") {
$(this).data('status', "Show");
$(this).attr("src","https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d35f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1");
} else {
$(this).data('status', "Hide");
$(this).attr("src","https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d00f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1");
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="image" data-status="Hide" id="button" src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/2e83e2d00f0b889da7d5905c7bf574c2?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1"></button>
<div id="collapse">
Hello
</div>
To persist the value, retrieve the status on pageload and run the handler
const initialStatus = localStorage.imageStatus || 'Hide';
$('#button').data('status', initialStatus);
$('#button').click();
and set it after a change
localStorage.imageStatus = $('#button').data('status');

JavaScript alert onclick onchange if statement

I am trying to display an onclick alert if the box is filled in with the world "hello", while a different alert should pop up in "hello" is not typed.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here:
The HTML:
<form>
<input id="box" placeholder="type hello" onchange="sayHello()" style="display: block;" />
<input type="button" onclick="sayHelloTwo()" value="Click me" />
<p id="hidden" style="display: none;">
HELLO
</p>
</form>
The JavaScript:
function sayHello() {
var answer = "hello";
if (answer) {
alert("Click for Hello!");
} else {
alert("you need to type hello!");
return false;
}
}
function sayHelloTwo() {
document.getElementById("hidden").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("hidden").style.color = "#909090";
document.getElementById("hidden").style.fontSize = "40px";
}

You need to check the actual value that the user entered in the box, and then compare it to the value you want (the value inside your answer variable).
There are several ways to do so, one of the is using
document.getElementById('box').value
(Where box is the id of your element).
Here is a working example:
function sayHello() {
var answer = "hello";
var text = document.getElementById('box').value;
if (text == answer) {
alert("Click for Hello!");
} else {
alert("you need to type hello!");
return false;
}
}
function sayHelloTwo() {
document.getElementById("hidden").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("hidden").style.color = "#909090";
document.getElementById("hidden").style.fontSize = "40px";
}
<form>
<input id="box" placeholder="type hello" onchange="sayHello()" style="display: block;" />
<input type="button" onclick="sayHelloTwo()" value="Click me" />
<p id="hidden" style="display: none;">
HELLO
</p>
</form>

To elaborate on Dekels answer some more, the click event also has an event property attached to it that you can use to get the value, like this.
function sayHello(e) {
if (e.currentTarget.value == "hello") {
alert("Click for Hello!");
} else {
alert("you need to type hello!");
return false;
}
}

You have error in checking condition for answer
function sayHello() {
var answer = "hello";
if (answer == "hello") {
alert("Click for Hello!");
} else {
alert("you need to type hello!");
return false;
}
}

You can pass the element value directly as a parameter this.value in your html.
Notice that to make the code case insensitive you must convert the value to lowercase and than check the if statement value.toLowerCase() !== 'hello'
Code:
function sayHello(value) {
if (value.toLowerCase() !== 'hello') {
alert('You need to type hello!');
return false;
}
alert('Click for Hello!');
}
function sayHelloTwo() {
var hidden = document.getElementById('hidden')
hidden.style.display = 'block';
hidden.style.color = '#909090';
hidden.style.fontSize = '40px';
}
<form>
<input id="box" placeholder="type hello" onchange="sayHello(this.value)" style="display: block;" />
<input type="button" onclick="sayHelloTwo()" value="Click me" />
<p id="hidden" style="display: none;">
HELLO
</p>
</form>

Dynamically toggle placeholder color with JavaScript

I have an HTML input, as well as some buttons.
<input type="number" placeholder="" id="id"/>
<button onclick="myfunction()" >Click Me</button>
<button onclick="toggle()">toggle</button>
The first button has this JavaScript function
var myfunction=function(){
if(bool){
a=document.getElementById('id');
a.placeholder='Invalid Character';
}
};
bool=false;
and the second button's function is this:
toggle=function(){
bool=!bool;
};
Basically, click the second button to change whether
bool
is true or false. The first button will set a placeholder if the value of bool is true. I want to figure out how to DYNAMICALLY set the color of a placeholder with JavaScript. I have found how to do it with CSS, but I need JavaScript. No jQuery or other frameworks please.
Thanks!
Travis J I specifically said that this is not a duplicate, as I CANNOT use CSS, like the question you mistakenly marked this as a duplicate of
I can ONLY use javscript, not css.

May be this is the not the RIGHT way to add inline styles, but this is the only way i found to full fill the OP requirement.
var placeholderColor = '#f0f';
var FontColor = '#000';
bool = true;
function toggle() {
bool = !bool;
}
function myfunction() {
if (bool) {
a = document.getElementById('id');
a.placeholder = 'Invalid Character';
a.style.color = placeholderColor;
}
}
function textChange() {
a = document.getElementById('id');
if (a.value != '') a.style.color = FontColor;
else {
a.placeholder = 'Invalid Character';
a.style.color = placeholderColor;
}
}
<input type="text" id="id" onkeyup='textChange()' />
<button onclick="myfunction()">Click Me</button>
<button onclick="toggle()">toggle</button>

localstorage how to save a div

I need to save a div with localstorage. When i press a button the div becomes visible but when i close the browser and open it again the div needs to be visible.
This is my code so far:
<script>
function openDiv() {
var film = document.getElementById("bookingDiv");
if(film.style.display == "none"){
film.style.display = "block";
}
}
function save() {
openDiv()
var saveDiv = document.getElementById("bookingDiv")
if(saveDiv.style.display == "block"){
localstorage.setItem("text", saveDiv)
}
}
function load() {
var loadDiv = localstorage.getItem("text")
if(loadDiv){
document.getElementById("bookingDiv") = loadDiv
}
}
</script>
<body onload="load()">
<input type="button" id="testButton" value="Save" onclick="save()" />
<div style="display:none" id="bookingDiv" type="text">
hello
</div>
</body>

You can only store strings using the localStorage. So you have to store the state of this element instead of the element itself.
function save() {
openDiv();
var saveDiv = document.getElementById("bookingDiv");
if (saveDiv.style.display == "block") {
localStorage.setItem("isTextVisible", true);
}
}
function load() {
var isTextVisible = localStorage.getItem("isTextVisible");
if (isTextVisible == "true") {
openDiv();
}
}
note: do not forget the semicolon after each statement as it might lead to wrong behavior!
