Build directory cards and a selected profile

The community directory starts with three static member cards and a detail panel. The prior tool-shelf demo showed the click-to-detail pattern with different data; now make it work for this directory.

The starter contains two member cards, their data-name and data-skill values, and the detail panel. Add a third card for Leah Chen (Bread baking) in index.html, then implement selection in script.js. The initial prompt remains until someone selects a card. Each View button should choose exactly its own card, with textContent copying the card’s data into the detail fields rather than inserting markup.

Here is the same selection idea in a different setting: a library shelf. The button identifies its enclosing card; the card holds the data, so we never need to guess which title belongs to the click.

javascript
document.querySelector("#book-shelf").addEventListener("click", (event) => {
  const button = event.target.closest("button");
  if (!button) return;
  const book = button.closest("[data-title]");
  document.querySelector("#book-summary").textContent = book.dataset.title;
});

For the directory, adapt that relationship to member cards and update both detail fields. Use classList to move the visual selection, not to replace the text update.

Your Task

  1. Add a third static member card for Leah Chen, with data-name="Leah Chen", data-skill="Bread baking", visible name and skill, and a native View button; keep the labelled detail panel.
  2. When a View button is clicked, show that card’s name and skill as text in #detail-name and #detail-skill.
  3. Mark only the current card with selected and remove that class from the previous choice when another card is viewed.

Run the preview and select Omar, then Leah. The details and border should follow your selection. This solution becomes the starter behavior for the search step.
