set error message in element to "test" in javascript

To set an error message on an element using JavaScript, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element using JavaScript (You can use multiple ways to select elements in JavaScript, such as getElementById, getElementsByTagName, getElementsByClassName, etc.).
  2. Set the error message as the element's text content.
  3. You might also want to add styling to the element to make it more noticeable to the user.

Here's an example of setting an error message on an input element that has failed validation:

<form>
  <label for="input">Enter a number:</label>
  <input type="number" id="input" name="input">
  <span id="error"></span>
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

index.tsx
const input = document.getElementById('input');
const error = document.getElementById('error');
const submitBtn = document.querySelector('button[type="submit"]');

submitBtn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  
  if (!input.checkValidity()) {
    error.textContent = 'Please enter a valid number';
    error.style.color = 'red';
    input.style.border = '1px solid red';
  }
});

In this example, if the user enters an invalid number in the input field and tries to submit the form, the error message will be shown next to the input element along with some styling to make it more visible.
