Learn DOM Manipulation In 18 Minutes

I know it's not a big thing or anything, but thank you for timestamping your videos. It's so incredibly useful, and not enough content creators take the time to do that

I'm glad you appreciate it. I have been trying to do it on all my new videos.

[@oscarleon3008]

@@WebDevSimplified Thank you for doing it, I always love it when someone in the comments does it for the longer videos. But it's even really cool that you take the time to do that yourself. Thanks for all the videos! I'm learning a ton from your channel.

[@009a2]

Totally agree. I would add to that, that the times times may not be useful the first time you watch the video, but they are super useful on the second watch when you try to reference something :-)

Yeah some times I’m watching some programming video and I’m looking for some part of the video, but then I realize they didn’t take the time to put time stamps and I have to spend i while just looking for that part.

You know why I choose you always to review topics or see your tutorial before I learn new technology? 1. Very simple. 2. Clear. 3. Very direct. 4. Detailed. 6. Cover a lot. 7. You cover important things. 8. Organized. 9. I can have excellent understanding what is this technology all about. In general.

[@BigSmoke-r9w]

OMG this guy helped me alot especially with difficult topics of CSS and Javascript! He explains everything so well! He's basically my mentor without him knowing it.

[@tolgaacar1296]

I recommend you to import your js files after the tags in html files. Because The script can begin executing before the DOM is fully loaded. Then null property errors will occur.

[@moniemonie96]

Orrr have it all run once html is executed.

[@TamNguyen-ij4wp]

He has a video about the executing script file with defer and async.

[@josevicentediazmora4064]

Thankss (L)

[@RedBeardRetroTech]

I've been watching these videos to study, they're very straightforward and make so much more sense compared to my professors. I appreciate you making these videos

[@younessbouhjar9576]

A quick tip: in case you want to delete multiple elements in a div for example. document.getElementsByClassName('class-name') delivers a nodeList.that means you'll get an error if you used the remove() method. instead change style.display for all nodes by looping through the list for example: var div= document.getElementsByClassName('class-name'); for (var i=0;i

[@xXYourShadowDaniXx]

Or you can do it the correct way for deleting and loop through the NodeList and run remove() per element? let div=document.getElementsByClassName("test"); Array.from(div).forEach((elem)=>{ elem.remove(); });

[@patricklemmer9902]

Just worked through this and another video about DOM traversal. I am extremely confident working with the DOM now, which wasn't the case 48hrs ago. Thank you so much for your clear instructions and on point explanations! Incredible value!

[@spondoolie6450]

I've been on my JavaScript journey for about 1.5 months. Once I learned about the DOM everything now seems to make sense, where as before it was literally a guessing game on which methods to use to make things happen. This video is perfect for someone like me that needs a quick-start (sorry, I mean "quickStart") reference where I can have a short video that neatly explains all the methods I'm going to use > 90% of the time. Kyle is the man.

[@xXYourShadowDaniXx]

Yes this video is one of the few that I would suggest to new JS devs, so they can learn actual Vanilla JS properly. Then once you can confidently make sites and tools with Vanilla JS you should try graduating to Vue / React / Angular.

[@DigitalAlchemyst]

I have never done dom maniupluation before. This intro video has mew super comfortable, oh wait by I have done dom manipulation before and just didn't know that is what it was. This video really highlights Kyle living up to his channel name. In this video DOM manipulation has certainly been simplified. Thank you

[@cleansermacaroni9892]

I have done a couple of frontend courses, and I didn't have any trouble with the content, but this is the first video that has made perfect sense of it all. Wow. Really nice. Thanks!

Sir, you've helped me a lot. DOM manipulation is the only thing that I've always struggled in HTML JS because I use React more than Vanilla JS. So thanks a lot.

Hi, Kyle! I really owe you big because I really like to know what I am doing and you surely explain not only how to do things but also why you do whatever you do; but I need to tell you that I hate when you, sometimes, get too rethorical in trying obsesively to make things clear. I give you and hipothetical example: We do this but you can see it because this has no content. Now we write this' content and you can see it because now this has a content that is why you couldn't see it before because it had no content but now you see it because now it has a content. I make this observation not to make you change your ways but hoping it might help as any feedback does.

1:31 - Another important difference: `.appendChild` returns the appended element, so you can chain methods on its return value. `.append` returns nothing. There’s also the with-scopability difference (Symbol.unscopables), which shouldn’t be too relevant in 2021…

Theres also ANOTHER difference for textcontent and innertext, if you are generating random text ONE of them (I believe innerText) will interpret that text as HTML Entities and one will not. I've run into this bug while making a text generator before, it was super annoying to figure out because the Entity being created was a blank character.

These are excellent videos. Thank you. I've hopped over to Patreon and expressed my appreciation in a practical way. I don't see a link to the source files. I can't even get started with the most primitive examples and those source files would be helpful.

[@WebDevSimplified]

I don't do source files for videos like this since the source files are very simple (usually only a few lines) and all the rest of the code in the video frequently changes as I show the many examples.

[@jgostl]

I guess I'm having a serious stupid attack. I can't get even the simplest example to work. It's only 11 lines. Is there someplace I can post it and get your two cents?

[@jgostl]

Got it! Maybe it's a quirk in Windows 10/Edge, but I've found references to this through Google. If you place the script in HEAD, and manipulate the BODY, you are manipulating the body BEFORE it is created. Once I moved the into the body it worked fine.

Great video, keep the good work up! About the remove() vs removeChild(), the latter could be more useful when you have already selected the parent and don't want to specifically select the child element on a separate row. Here's what I mean by that with the current example: div.removeChild(div.lastChild); //removes the "Bye"
