tag’s href attribute to point to the correct CSS file. To troubleshoot: Ensure that the localStorage retrieval and theme application happen in the correct order when the page loads. Check the browser’s developer tools (F12) and look at the console for errors related to missing CSS files or JavaScript functions. Make sure the radio buttons are in the correct state when the page loads if they should reflect the previously selected theme. 5. FAQ Section Q1: Why does the theme only load after selecting a radio button? This issue usually occurs because the JavaScript that applies the theme might be running too late in the page load process or isn't correctly updating the theme until the user interacts with the radio buttons. Make sure the theme application logic is included within the DOMContentLoaded event listener so that it runs when the page is fully loaded but before the user interacts with the page. Q2: How do I ensure the correct CSS file is applied on page load? Ensure that your setTheme function is called with the theme name retrieved from localStorage during the DOMContentLoaded event. This guarantees that the theme is applied immediately when the page is loaded. Q3: What if the theme doesn't save in localStorage? Make sure that the theme name is being stored correctly in localStorage using localStorage.setItem(). You can test by manually checking the contents of localStorage in your browser’s developer tools under the Application tab. Q4: How can I check which theme is active? You can check the active theme by inspecting the href of the tag that links to the CSS file. Additionally, check the localStorage value stored under the key selectedTheme. Q5: How do I hide the theme selection menu? The theme selection menu is shown and hidden using a simple toggle in the JavaScript. By adding or removing the hidden class, you can control the visibility of the pop-up menu. This class is defined as display: none in the CSS. 6. Conclusion By following the steps outlined in this tutorial and troubleshooting your code, you should be able to implement a working theme-switching feature for your project. If the theme is still not loading immediately, I recommend debugging the JavaScript to ensure that the theme is being applied correctly as soon as the page loads and that localStorage is properly storing the selected theme. This solution should also help you learn the core concepts of interacting with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for dynamic styling and theme persistence.
