I created a basic side navigation menu. When you resize the window to a smaller size, a red square will appear. If you click on this red square, the menu will open.
The menu opens correctly, but I want it to close when I click on the dark area instead of the X button. I tried adding a "click" event listener to the body and removing the "is-open" class, but that didn't work. After spending some time troubleshooting, I decided to seek suggestions here.
"use strict";
const menuToggle = document.querySelector(".menu-toggle");
const menuClose = document.querySelector(".menu-close");
const nav = menuToggle.parentElement;
menuToggle.addEventListener("click", event => {
event.preventDefault();
nav.classList.add("is-open");
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "rgba(0,0,0,0.5)";
});
menuClose.addEventListener("click", event => {
event.preventDefault();
menuToggle.nextElementSibling.style.width = null;
document.body.style.backgroundColor = null;
nav.classList.remove("is-open");
});:root {
