New Year Resolution Generator – Troubleshooting & Common Issues

1️⃣ Generate Button Not Working

If clicking the Generate button does nothing:

✔ Ensure JavaScript is enabled.
✔ Refresh the page using Ctrl + F5.
✔ Clear browser cache to remove old JS files.

This is the most common issue when updates are deployed.

2️⃣ Copy / Clear / Download Buttons Not Visible

✔ Your browser may be using a cached old CSS version.
✔ Try hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R).
✔ Ensure dark/light theme is not hiding text.
✔ Buttons now have improved visibility with strong contrast.

3️⃣ Resolution Text Not Appearing After Generating

✔ Ensure the output container has correct ID (e.g., resolutionOutput).
✔ Verify JavaScript updates the innerText or innerHTML properly.
✔ Check for console errors (F12 → Console).

4️⃣ Copy to Clipboard Not Working

✔ Clipboard API requires HTTPS (your site already uses it).
✔ Ensure the resolution text exists before copying.
✔ Safari users may need to tap first to enable clipboard permissions.

5️⃣ Download Button Creates Empty File

✔ Make sure the text area is not empty.
✔ Ensure the Blob creation and object URL generation is correct.
✔ Some browsers block multiple rapid downloads—try once slowly.

6️⃣ Page Looks Broken on Mobile

✔ Ensure responsive CSS is applied (Bootstrap 5).
✔ Check if the content container width is correct.
✔ Verify no large fixed-width elements are overflowing the screen.

7️⃣ Results Look Repeated or Not Random

✔ Clear LocalStorage if caching is used.
✔ Ensure your array of resolutions is large and diverse.
✔ Use Math.floor(Math.random() * list.length) for randomness.

8️⃣ Slow Performance on Older Devices

✔ Too many DOM updates at once can slow rendering.
✔ Avoid heavy animations or large image files.
✔ Use lightweight JS for generating resolutions.
