Thank you, that completely resolved my issue! I'm relatively to this so I'm still trying to find my feet, Thanks again :)

 

Hi everyone,

I'm having a very persistent issue with my Perchance generator, and I've tried many troubleshooting steps, but I can't seem to get past it. I'm hoping someone here can take a look.

My Goal: I'm building an art style concept generator. It's a two-generator setup:

my-styles-list: This generator acts purely as a library, holding all my art style lists (General, Dragon Ball, Demon Hunters). my-art-generator: This generator @imports the lists from my-styles-list, uses a selectedCategory dropdown to let the user choose a style category, and then generates a concept based on that choice. The Problem: When I open my Main Art Style Generator, I see:

"My Awesome Art Style Generator" (so the [title] is working). But immediately underneath, it says: "undefined" Below that, it says: "syntax error" Crucially, the "Choose Art Style Category" dropdown menu is NOT appearing on the page. Only the "randomize" button is visible. My Main Art Style Generator's Code:

Perchance Code (Top-Left Editor):

Code snippet

// This is your MAIN Art Style Generator. // It imports lists from your Art Style Library and generates general art style concepts.

// IMPORTANT: Make sure 'my-styles-list' is the EXACT URL slug of your // Art Style Library generator (e.g., 'my-styles-list'). @import:my-styles-list

//


Generator Title


// This list provides the text for the [title] in the HTML template. title = My Awesome Art Style Generator

output Your Art Style Concept: [chooseSelectedStyle]

//


User Input for Style Category


// This creates the dropdown menu on the right-hand side. selectedCategory label = Choose Art Style Category type = select options General Dragon Ball Demon Hunters

//


Conditional Style Generation


// This section uses the user's selection to generate the appropriate style description. chooseSelectedStyle [selectedCategory == "General"] { A [[generalArtStyle]] style, featuring [[generalElements]] and a [[generalColorPalette]] palette, with a [[generalMood]] and [[generalDetails]]. } [selectedCategory == "Dragon Ball"] { A [[dbArtStyle]] style, featuring [[dbElements]] and a [[dbColorPalette]] palette, with a [[dbMood]] and [[dbDetails]]. } [selectedCategory == "Demon Hunters"] { A [[dhArtStyle]] style, featuring [[dhElements]] and a [[dhColorPalette]] palette, with a [[dhMood]] and [[dhDetails]]. } HTML/CSS Code (Bottom-Right Editor):

HTML

What I've Tried So Far (Extensive Troubleshooting):

Library Generator (my-styles-list) is confirmed clean: When I open https://perchance.org/my-styles-list in a private/incognito window, the right-hand side is completely blank, as it should be for a data library. There are no errors on that page itself. Cleared/Reset both generators: For both generators, I've completely deleted all code from both the left (Perchance) and right (HTML/CSS) editors. Used Plain Text Editor intermediary: I copied all the correct code (both Perchance and HTML as shown above) into Notepad/TextEdit first to strip any hidden characters, then pasted it into the blank Perchance editors. Tested in Private/Incognito Mode: All testing has been done in a fresh private window to avoid caching issues. Despite all these steps, the "undefined" and "syntax error" persist, and the dropdown is missing.

Any insights or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
