I have a list of icons with their own ids in a parent doc that should be clickable to apply various textures. But there are over 40 of them which means that the icons run off the page with a little scroll bar in their own div.

I’m trying to save myself a lot of repetitive work by making a list of the id’s that can be pressed in one big ‘On Event of (click)’ puzzle, then using that id as a variable to pull a matching bit of data from a CSV. Since they are in a scrollable div, the pageY isn’t useful, but I thought I could use Get Event Property (target.id) but that doesn’t seem to generate anything. Am I mis-understand what that is or should that work?

Or should I add a script to the parent doc that sends that info, and if so how would that work? Bear in mind I am not a programmer by any stretch.

Hi,

Can you print to the console the output of the target.id puzzle and see if it actually produces the ids of those icons? Or add a temporary text object to your scene and update it with the output.

I had it updating the inner html of an element on the parent doc, it just came out blank. PageX and pageY updated correctly, but target.id just made it blank.

Hi again,

Sorry for the delay. It appears that the HTML elements ids are not assigned – that’s why target.id returns blank id. The ids are assigned to list elements instead.

You can re-assign ids to your buttons with HTML code as follows:

Now it is:
<li class='finishes' id='FINAfricanCherry'><div class='icons' style="background-image:url('iconFIN/AFRICAN_CHERRY.jpg')">African Cherry</div></li>

Should be:
<li class='finishes'><div id='FINAfricanCherry' class='icons' style="background-image:url('iconFIN/AFRICAN_CHERRY.jpg')">African Cherry</div></li>

Regarding the other question, the camera looks down because its target is set to the look at the origin. You can modify the target coordinates on this panel:
