Can't use .insertAdjacentHTML within a nested for loop

As the title says, I can't use .insertAdjacentHTML because I just don't get how.






for(let i=1;i<=m;i++)
{
for(let j=1;j<=n;j++)
{
document.querySelector(".matrice-" + p).insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<input class="l' + i + 'c' + 'j" size="3" maxlength="4" inputmode="numeric"></input>')
}
document.querySelector(".matrice-" + p).insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<br/>')
}
}





I want the input classes to be like l1c1 l1c2 l1c3 and so on but I can't seem to get that j to work as the variable. It is being used as a string so all my classes are l1cj l2cj and so on.



The fact that I have to use so many quotation marks really confuses me.



How should I use it to get the desired effect?

          If I've got this right you're trying to create a maxtrix of l rows and c columns. Instead of attaching elements (as HTML) to the DOM on each loop iteration (which is costly performance-wise), just push each input into an array. Then you can join that array and use insertAdjacentHTML to add the HTML to the page at the end.



          Here I've used a template literal too so there is less confusion about where the quotes should go. I added a placeholder to the input to show you how the classes look so you don't have to inspect the page.



          Hope it helps.






          const arr = ;
          const m = n = 3;

          for (let i = 1; i <= m; i++) {
          for (let j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
          const input = `
          <input
          class="l${i}c${j}
          size="3"
          maxlength="4"
          inputmode="numeric"
          placeholder="l${i}c${j}"
          />`;
          arr.push(input);
          }
          }

          const root = document.querySelector('#root')
          root.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', arr.join(''));

          * {
          box-sizing: border-box;
          }

          #root {

          • In a template literal variables can be inserted like ${var}. It means that you don't have to keep quote/unquoting the string to insert them.

          Your quoting is wrong. j should not be inside the quotes.



          document.querySelector(".matrice-" + p).insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<input class="l' + i + 'c' + j + '" size="3" maxlength="4" inputmode="numeric"></input>')


          The method in the other answer will be more efficient -- every time you call insertAdjacentHTML() the browser has to parse the new HTML. Doing it all at once is generally better.

            • Can you please explain this? "l${i}c${j}"

            • In a template literal variables can be inserted like ${var}. It means that you don't have to keep quote/unquoting the string to insert them.

            Your quoting is wrong. j should not be inside the quotes.



            document.querySelector(".matrice-" + p).insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', '<input class="l' + i + 'c' + j + '" size="3" maxlength="4" inputmode="numeric"></input>')


            The method in the other answer will be more efficient -- every time you call insertAdjacentHTML() the browser has to parse the new HTML. Doing it all at once is generally better.
