I have no idea why it is not working, not even displaying icons(function symbDisp).
I have used a function "game" at the end of the js file which should work when a user clicks on the gameboard and has all the functions in it, but there's a problem-- not at all working.

If you pass the event into the game function like this - game(event) you can then pass the event as an argument to the other functions, for example the symbDisp(event). Then in the actual symbDisp() function you can replace the if($(this).text()==='') with if(event.target.textContent === '') to check if there is anything already in the box. I hope this helps a bit.

17,485 PointsTo get your symbols put into the grid, first three lines of your symbDisp():
function symbDisp (e) {
if(e.target.innerText==='') {
$(e.target).text(player);
And first two lines of your game():
function game(e){
symbDisp(e);

Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsI did what you asked me to although I don't understand what I did exactly(we can figure this out later, first get this working) but it is not working, what else can I do?
Tushar Singh
Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsBut I think you are right, the problem is linking these functions together because everything else seems ok (at least to me)
Andrew Trigg
17,485 PointsChange lines 24 and 25 to this:
if(e.target.innerText==='') {
$(e.target).text(player);
Tushar Singh
Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsI already did that.
function symbDisp (e) {
if(e.target.innerText()==='') {
$(e.target).text(pTurn);
if(pTurn == player){
pTurn =comp;
}else{
pTurn=player;
}
}
}
Here pTurn = player
var pTurn=player;
And as you asked me to make some changes in game as well-done!
function game(e){
symbDisp(e);
winCheck();
turns+=1;
if(gameEnd=false && turns%2==0){
AI();
DrawIcon(id);
winCheck();
turns+=1;}
}
});
Still not working.

17,485 PointsYou are invoking
e.target.innerText()
as a function - you need to get rid of the parentheses. If you just copy my lines into yours, replacing lines 24 and 25, you will at least be able to put X's or O's into your table.

Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsI got this symbol thing to work
see http://codepen.io/tushar_13/pen/zqPQOp
But it is showing a weird behaviour, what to do about it??
And I really like to thank you for your time, it means a lot. Mostly people just want to answer stupid coding challenges.Thank you. Now let's solve this problem.
Tushar Singh
Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsOh sorry, I finally understand what you were talking about, that was so dumb of me, Thanks for your patience.

If you check it now, I think the only problem is it toggles the icons again and again, why is that??

Courses Plus Student 8,692 PointsEvery function is written clearly, I don't think you would face any problem understanding the code. Any help would be appreciated.
