loop through an array of and only show one each time using javascript

I am making a small quiz application using javascript and html. The quiz is set up so that the user can only see one question on the page. When they press the previous and next buttons, it shows the user the previous and next question respectively.

What I am trying to do is, loop through an array of elements returned by getElementByClassName and display the next item each time the user presses the “next” button. The problem that I currently have is, when the “next” button is pressed, every single element that comes after the first one is displayed onto the page. There is also a “previous” button on the page that shows the user the immediate previous element, however it removes the very first element in the array, shows an “Cannot set property ‘display’ of undefined” error and the rest of the div elements are still shown on the page.

This is the current code HTML:

const nextBtn = document.getElementById('next');
const prevBtn = document.getElementById('prev');
const quizes = document.getElementsByClassName('quiz');
//show and hide divs when user presses next
nextBtn.addEventListener('click', function() {
  for (i = 0; i < quizes.length; i++) {
    quizes[i].style.display = "block";
  }
})

prevBtn.addEventListener('click', function() {
  if (quizes.length > 1) {
    for (i = 0; quizes.length > 1; i--) {
      if (quizes[i].display = "block") {
        quizes[i].style.display = "none";
      }
    }
  } else {
    alert('no more previous questions!')
  }
})

<div class="quiz">
  <p>Question 1</p>
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="1">
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="2">
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="3">
</div>

<div class="quiz" style="display: none">
  <p>Question 2</p>
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="1">
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="2">
  <input type="radio" name="answer" value="3">
</div>
<button id="prev">Prev</button>
<button id="next">Next</button>

Any explanation on the error and any hints to the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I think what you should do is to keep a track of which question is currently visible, then toggle all other questions before you make the active one visible.

I’ve made a quick example below I hope you can understand the thought behind, let me know otherwise.

const nextBtn = document.getElementById('next');
const prevBtn = document.getElementById('prev');
const quizes = document.querySelectorAll('.quiz');
const total = quizes.length;
let count = 0;

const hideAll = () => quizes.forEach( q => q.style.display = 'none' );

const showNext = () => {
    if(count < total-1) count++;
  else {
    alert('no more questions');
    return;
  }
  
  hideAll();
  quizes[count].style.display = 'block';
}

const showPrev = () => {
    if(count > 0) count--;
  else {
    alert('no more previous questions');
    return;
  }
  
  hideAll();
  quizes[count].style.display = 'block';
}



//show and hide divs when user presses next
nextBtn.addEventListener('click',function(){
  showNext();
})


prevBtn.addEventListener('click',function(){
  showPrev();
})

<div class="quiz">
        <p>Question 1</p>
        <input type="radio" name="answer" value="1">
        <input type="radio" name="answer" value="2">
        <input type="radio" name="answer" value="3">
        </div>

        <div class="quiz" style="display: none">
        <p>Question 2</p>
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="1">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="2">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="3">
        </div>

<div class="quiz" style="display: none">
        <p>Question 3</p>
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="1">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="2">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="3">
        </div>
        
        <div class="quiz" style="display: none">
        <p>Question 4</p>
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="1">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="2">
        <input type="radio"  name="answer" value="3">
        </div>
        
<button id="prev">Prev</button>
<button id="next">Next</button>
