virtual keyboard in JS but with images

I want to make a virtual keyboard in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, there is a twist. Instead of the letters on the keyboard, I would like to replace them with images of my own choice. So lets say,

instead of letter "a", i have an image of APPLE
instead of letter "s", I have an image of SNAKE

Was able to do it.

Answer

is this what you had in mind?

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("key");

var myFunction = function(event) {
let text = document.getElementById('text')
text.innerText = text.innerText + event.target.id
   
};

for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    elements[i].addEventListener('click', myFunction, false);
}

.keyboard{
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
}

img{
border:solid 2px green;
}
