I’m trying to add some animation to my CTAs using vanilla JS:

My issue is that the html collection gotten from the top line is appearing empty when i try to iterate it. I’m doing a lot of console.logs to test and see where the breaking point is but the issue is there. When i put my code in the console on Chrome i have no issue. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? I’m pretty new to JS so I might be making a simple mistake.

Hello @NGraham1 ,

Did you link your script correctly, like at the bottom of the Body HTML element or somewhere else?
Do you use your script in a module?

Hi @NGraham1 ,
There may be many reasons to js not working like js not written under <script></script> tag if you applying it in template or page level and if you are adding js in the module make sure you add js code in js editor of module
I see your code if you adding js as I mentioned above then try this in your code
Add dot(.) with classname
i.e .learn-more-cta

Hi @NGraham1, the code seems okay to me, so maybe the issue is not JS related but maybe is related to where you add this code as @Oezcan says.

Please share more information about the location of the code and I’m sure we will find the issue :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the suggestions! It is linked to the right place because my console.logs were showing up in the browser. I did find a solution though.

window.addEventListener('load', function () {
 //I PLACED MY CODE IN HERE AND IT FIXED IT
 });

I found this snippit from this post where someone was trying to target elements in a form.

I’m not sure why this is requred but I would also like to know why it’s not common knowledge if it is requried. And why was the answer so hard to find?

Questions for hubspot I suppose. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
