Create a new version of paste:

Below is a **drop‑in replacement** for the `openDetail()` routine (and a quick refresher on how to reuse the same escaping helper that we already introduced for the card rendering).  
Everything that is inserted into the DOM – titles, text blocks, lists, etc. – is first run through the same `escapeHTML()` routine so that any `<script>` or other harmful markup that might sneak into the JSON file can’t be executed.

```javascript
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Utility – escape HTML (kept in the global scope so that all helpers
   can reuse it).  This is the same function we used in `renderCard()`.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
function escapeHTML(str) {
  return String(str)
    .replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
    .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
    .replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
    .replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
    .replace(/'/g, '&#39;');
}

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Rendering the cards (kept the same – just a reminder that it uses
   the helper).  It is unchanged except for the `escapeHTML()` calls.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
function renderCard(book) {
  const title = escapeHTML(book.title);
  const card = `
    <div class="card" data-id="${escapeHTML(book.id)}">
      <h3>${title}</h3>
      <div class="card-body">
        <h4>${escapeHTML(book.title)} – ${escapeHTML(book.author)}</h4>
        <p class="card-text">${escapeHTML(book.blurb)}</p>
      </div>
    </div>`;
  return card;
}
```

### 1.  The new `openDetail()` implementation

```javascript
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Global variable that will hold the currently shown detail pane.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
let activeDetailView = null;

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   1⃣  Build the content **with escaping** and return it as a
       `template` element.  Using a <template> gives us a cheap
       sandbox where we can create children with *textContent* – no
       chance of injecting raw HTML.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
function openDetail(id) {
  const result = playbooks.find(b => b.id === id);
  if (!result) return;

  // ---------- 1.  Build the steps list --------------------------------
  const stepsContainer = document.createElement('ul');
  stepsContainer.className = 'detail-steps';

  result.steps.forEach(step => {
    const li = document.createElement('li');
    li.textContent = step;          // <– safe: textContent escapes everything
    stepsContainer.appendChild(li);
  });

  // ---------- 2.  Build the whole detail pane ------------------------
  const detailContainer = document.createElement('div');
  detailContainer.className = 'detail-view';
  detailContainer.setAttribute('data-id', result.id);

  // 2a.  A small “Close” button that simply removes the pane
  const closeBtn = document.createElement('button');
  closeBtn.className = 'detail-close';
  closeBtn.textContent = '×';   // × looks nicer than “Close”
  closeBtn.onclick = closeDetail; // will be defined below
  detailContainer.appendChild(closeBtn);

  // 2b.  Add the heading (escaped!)
  const heading = document.createElement('h2');
  heading.textContent = result.title;
  detailContainer.appendChild(heading);

  // 2c.  Add the blurb (escaped!)
  const blurb = document.createElement('p');
  blurb.textContent = result.blurb;
  detailContainer.appendChild(blurb);

  // 2d.  Append the steps list
  detailContainer.appendChild(stepsContainer);

  // 2e.  (Optional) Add a little bit of styling if you want the pane
  //      to sit on top of the page
  detailContainer.style.position = 'fixed';
  detailContainer.style.top = '20px';
  detailContainer.style.left = '50%';
  detailContainer.style.transform = 'translateX(-50%)';
  detailContainer.style.background = '#fff';
  detailContainer.style.padding = '1rem 2rem';
  detailContainer.style.boxShadow = '0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.15)';
  detailContainer.style.zIndex = 9999;

  // ---------- 3⃣  Add the pane to the document ----------------------
  document.body.appendChild(detailContainer);
  activeDetailView = detailContainer;  // keep a handle so we can close it

  // ---------- 4⃣  Highlight the corresponding card ----------------
  const highlightedCard = document.querySelector(`.card[data-id="${id}"]`);
  if (highlightedCard) highlightedCard.classList.add('highlight');
}

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Closes the detail pane – removes the highlight on the card
   and removes the detail element from the DOM.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
function closeDetail() {
  if (activeDetailView) {
    const id = activeDetailView.getAttribute('data-id');
    const card = document.querySelector(`.card[data-id="${id}"]`);
    if (card) card.classList.remove('highlight');

    activeDetailView.remove();
    activeDetailView = null;
  }
}

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Wire the “Search” results (or any other trigger) to the new routine.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
searchInput.addEventListener('input', () => {
  const query = searchInput.value.trim();
  displaySearchResults(query);
});

/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
   When a user clicks a search result, open its detail pane.
   -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
document.addEventListener('click', event => {
  if (event.target.closest('.search-result')) {
    const target = event.target.closest('.search-result');
    const id = target.dataset.id;
    openDetail(id);
  }
});
```

### 2.  How it protects against XSS

1. **All strings from the JSON are inserted as `textContent`**  
   – This property automatically escapes any `<`, `>`, `"`, `&`, etc.

2. **No `innerHTML` is used on untrusted data**  
   The only `innerHTML` that appears is in `renderCard()` where we *already*
   applied `escapeHTML()` to every piece of text.

3. **The detail pane is a separate element**  
   We never inject raw HTML from the server into the DOM; we build
   the detail pane entirely from DOM nodes that are created by
   JavaScript, so the browser itself prevents any stray tags from
   being interpreted.

4. **Event delegation keeps the click‑handler safe**  
   We test the target with `closest()` which stops at the nearest
   ancestor that matches.  Even if a malicious string were to slip
   into the search results, it would be treated as *plain text*.

---

### 3.  Optional tweaks

* If you wish to keep the **old `onclick` behaviour** from the
  search results, you could add `onclick="openDetail('${id}')"`,
  but the approach above is safer because it avoids string‑based
  event binding entirely.

* Add a CSS rule for `.highlight` if you want a visible visual cue:
  ```css
  .card.highlight {
    border: 2px solid #f0ad4e;    /* e.g. a gold border */
    box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(240, 173, 78, .6);
  }
  ```

* If you want the pane to scroll to the card instead of using a
  “fixed” position, you can use `scrollIntoView()`:
  ```js
  highlightedCard.scrollIntoView({behavior:'smooth', block:'center'});
  ```

---

### 4.  Recap of what changed

* **`openDetail()`** – now creates a safe, **textContent‑only**
  pane and attaches a close button.
* **`closeDetail()`** – removes the pane and the card highlight.
* **`renderCard()`** – uses the same escape helper.
* **Search click** – wired to call `openDetail(id)`.

These changes make sure that any user‑supplied data that appears in
the detail view can no longer be interpreted as executable
JavaScript or markup, keeping your page safe from XSS.
