@airusjhan francisco thanks

[@OperationAndrew.]

The reason why you are the best on KZbin for what you do, is that you seem to understand the viewer - you break it down in such a simplistic manner, that complex problems are easily understood. A lot of concepts (headaches) that I previously struggled with have been removed because of your channel. Great work, you are making a difference.

[@louie_sevilla]

I like your pace. I usually don't finish tutorial videos that are 20+ minutes long coz they make me sleepy but your way is fast and covers a lot in a short period of time just the way I like it. Please keep going. I want to learn more from you. Really simple. Thank you.

[@WebDevSimplified]

Thank you so much. I like to make my videos so that they have a high amount of knowledge per minute of video. I am just like you and usually find long tutorials to be boring and drawn out so I try to make my videos as condensed and short as possible. Usually when I have a long video it is because there is just too much knowledge I want to portray and it is not possible to do in a short time frame.

Dude, I just watched 1:56 seconds of your video and figured out why I couldnt see my form submissions in my address bar of the browser. And from there, I was able to test each one of my submit buttons and get the correct results in the address bar on most of them and the ones where I didn't , I had to research and figure out the nuances b/t the ones wher I just used button creating attributes or the button element itself. I can not thank you enough. I've subbed. Now imma watch the rest.

[@WebDevSimplified]

The result script was included into the head of the HTML page so it can be run when the page loads. This video is not about that script or javascript at all so I didn't want to waste time explaining it. I just used that script to make explaining concepts easier.

@@WebDevSimplified can you post a copy of the results script? we are trying to follow the guide step by step and can as part of the guide is missing, i understand that you say the video is not about the result script, but you show it in the tutorial, so people want to follow step by step to ensure that they are seeing the same results as you.
