I have been using this code to activate the current element, which I came across on a website called "w3schools.com". However, whenever I refresh the page, the currently active element disappears. Is there a way to ensure that the active element remains highlighted even after a page refresh?
// This code snippet adds the 'active' class to the current button (highlighting it)
var header = document.getElementById("myDIV");
var btns = header.getElementsByClassName("btn");
for (var i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) {
btns[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
var current = document.getElementsByClassName("active");
current[0].className = current[0].className.replace(" active", "");
this.className += " active";
});
}/* Button styling */
.btn {
border: none;
outline: none;
padding: 10px 16px;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 18px;
}
/* Styling for the active class and hover effects */
.active,
.btn:hover {
background-color: #666;
color: white;
}<h1>Active Button</h1>
<p>Highlight the active/current (pressed) button.</p>
<div id="myDIV">
<button class="btn">1</button>
<button class="btn active">2</button>
<button class="btn">3</button>
<button class="btn">4</button>
<button class="btn">5</button>
</div>
