My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• JavaScript
• Tailwind CSS
• DOM Manipulation

What I learned

I learned how to use JavaScript to toggle the error states of the form and display the success message. This was

function switchSections(){
  signup.classList.toggle("hide");
  success.classList.toggle("hide");
}

Continued development

During this project, there were times when I got stuck with the JavaScript portion of the project (more specifically, getting the success message to display after form submission and toggling the error message). But after overcoming those issues, I got slightly more comfortable with understanding how to make functions and using id elements to manipulate the DOM.
