Add "Next Question" Button

The default trivia template moves the player on to the next question after a few seconds. This example demonstrates how to add a button for the player to click that moves the game along to the next question.

First, find the onClickedAnswer( ) function. Then locate the following line of code in that function.

setTimeout(trivia.gotoNextQuestion, 3000);

The code above causes your game to wait 3 seconds before moving on to the next question. Since you will use a button instead, you can either delete this line of code or comment // it out.

Next, add the following line of code as a replacement. Notice how an HTML button is appended after your question feedback that responds to a click by running trivia.gotoNextQuestion() .

$("#feedback").append(`<br><button onclick="trivia.gotoNextQuestion();">Next Question</br>`);

That's it. It should work for you. Consider styling this button differently by assigning it a class and adding the new style in your CSS.
