Output

The issue arises because the `innerHTML +=` operation in the `Dropdown` constructor recreates the existing elements in the parent container, causing the slider to lose its event listeners. Here's the fix: **Step-by-step explanation:** 1. **Problem Identification:** Using `innerHTML +=` in the `Dropdown` constructor destroys and recreates existing elements in the parent container, including the slider. This removes any event listeners attached to those elements. 2. **Solution:** Use `insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', ...)` instead of `innerHTML +=` to append new HTML without affecting existing elements. **Modified Code:**

**Explanation of Changes:** - **Replaced `innerHTML +=` with `insertAdjacentHTML`:** In the `Dropdown` constructor, using `parent_html.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', ...)` appends the new HTML content without re-parsing and replacing existing elements. This preserves the slider element along with its event listener. This adjustment ensures that the slider's `input` event listener remains intact, allowing the event to fire correctly when the slider is moved.

This preserves the slider element along with its event listener. This adjustment ensures that the slider's `input` event listener remains intact, allowing the event to fire correctly when the slider is moved. Does the student's say something similar to "editing the innerHTML clears event listeners"? If the answer is correct say "The student passes" otherwise "The student fails".

Output

The student's explanation correctly identifies that using `innerHTML +=` can lead to the destruction and recreation of existing elements, which results in the loss of event listeners attached to those elements. By suggesting the use of `insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', ...)`, the student provides a solution that appends new HTML content without affecting existing elements and their event listeners. Therefore, the student's answer effectively conveys that editing `innerHTML` in this manner clears event listeners. The student passes.
