    I have a list of text strings that represent the ID’s of all of the HTML elements that I have created on a webpage (using Webflow to create the HTML elements).

    I am able to create an event listener for this list which triggers whenever I click on any element whose ID is in the list (see attached screenshot), but I can’t figure out how to access the specific ID of the element that was clicked.

    Do I need to just create a separate event listener for each element and hard-code the name of the element ID, or is there a more efficient way to do this with a list of IDs? Need to use custom JS code instead of puzzles to accomplish this maybe?

    Thanks.

    Eric

    I don’t think the list is necessary , try this puzzle setup

    it will print any ID that you click.
