Trying to send this html into localstorage so I can use in a new cart page but it keep giving me an error





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

This is the HTML code:



<div class="cofefe">
<img src="photos/Shop%20-%20French%2Roast.png">
<p>Somecoffee</p>
<p>15</p>
<p>French Roast</p>
<button id="cartitem1" onclick="addCart()" class="button">Add to cart</button>
</div>


This is the javascript:



function addCart() {
var name = this.parentElement.children[1].getContext;
var prices = this.parentElement.children[2].getContext;

var storeThis = {'name': name, 'price': prices};
localStorage.setItem(name, JSON.stringify(storeThis));
}


In the chrome I get :




cart.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'children' of undefined
at addCart (cart.js:2)
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (shop.html:40)




and




Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'children' of undefined




I am sure there is something wrong with the javascript. I don't understand what.

          Your JavaScript code has nothing for this to work on. You need to get the current target. Change your function to the below:



          function addCart(event) {
          var name = event.target.parentElement.children[1].getContext;
          var prices = event.target.parentElement.children[2].getContext;
          var storeThis = {'name': name, 'price': prices};
          localStorage.setItem(name, JSON.stringify(storeThis));
          }


          EDIT:



          Here's a failsafe way to make it work - use JavaScript to add an event listener rather than an inline HTML event listener:



          <button id="cartitem1" class="button">Add to cart</button>


          JavaScript:



          document.getElementById("cartitem1").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
          addCart(e);
          })
