Changing colors when hovering the mouse

The following code is able to perform the following task:

By clicking the "Create Square" button, a red square is rendered on the screen at each click.

I wish that, when passing the mouse over these generated squares, these change color.

Follows the code :

<html>
      <head>
        <meta charset="UFT-8" />
        <title></title>
      </head>

      <body>
        <div id="container"></div>
        <button type="button" onclick="criarQuadrado()">Criar quadrado</button>
        <script>
          function criarQuadrado() {
            var boxElement = document.createElement("div");
            boxElement.style.width = 300;
            boxElement.style.height = 300;
            boxElement.style.display = "inline-block";
            boxElement.style.backgroundColor = "#f00";

            var container = document.getElementById("container");
            container.appendChild(boxElement);
          }
    </script>
      </body>
    </html>

The function either will be responsible for generating the color changes is as follows :

function getRandomColor() {
        var letters = "0123456789ABCDEF";
        var color = "#";
        for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
          color += letters[Math.floor(Math.random() * 16)];
        }
        return color;
}
var newColor = getRandomColor();

How can I solve such a problem?

You and you must associate the color change function to the onfocus event.

But the color change is permanent or should take effect only while the user has the mouse over the square ?

Follow code below, tested and every time you put the mouse on top of the square it changes color, I do not know if this is exactly what you want, but it is already a way to get there.

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UFT-8" />
    <title></title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div id="container"></div>
    <button type="button" onclick="criarQuadrado()">Criar quadrado</button>
    <script>
      function criarQuadrado() {
        var boxElement = document.createElement("div");
        boxElement.style.width = 300;
        boxElement.style.height = 300;
        boxElement.style.display = "inline-block";
        boxElement.style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000";
        boxElement.addEventListener('mouseover', function(){
            var letters = "0123456789ABCDEF";
            var color = "#";
            for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
            color += letters[Math.floor(Math.random() * 16)];
            }
            return this.style.background = color;
        });

        var container = document.getElementById("container");
        container.appendChild(boxElement);
      }
</script>
  </body>
</html>

If I get it, you want to change the colors when passing the mouse, right?

I believe you have to create a function that takes the value of getRandomColor() and compare her.. kind of like this:

function mudarDeCor(){
          if(newColor === newColor){
            newColor = getRandomColor();
            return newColor;
          } 
        }

I believe that’s how it is. Take the test
