Hi Derek
Another great video I have been watching them 1 by 1 learning more in 24 hours than I did with weeks of working with books.
I am so grateful to you for making these videos.

Free quality education to the world at the reach of one click and whenever I want. Thanks man.

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome :) By the end I want to cover most every topic imaginable. Free Education for All!!!

AJAX is one of the easiest things to learn. It is just a fancy jargon term people throw around to act smart. You could learn it in a snap. Keep at it and you'll improve every day. Don't worry about the trolls. It may seem like I never get negative comments because most of them PM me. People only have time to attack others because they don't have anything else going on in their life. Make a nice video and I'll be happy to give you a shout out :)

@sie85 I'm going to redo the jquery tutorial also and hit on some of the things I missed. I'll then show how to create a forum, chat system and how to make word press themes and plug ins. I'm not done yet. Thanks

I just read a book on Javascript and this was the hardest part to understand. But after watching this video it all make sense now.

[derekbanas]

It is a reference to the html element that matches the id. You can get the value stored in it, children, edit styling and a ton of other things with it. I cover many of the things you can do in this tutorial. There is a link to the code here bit. ly/fAYf0K

@0Alikan0 If an image is in a div you could call removeChild() on it.

[derekbanas]

Everything can be looked at as a series of objects on the page. appendChild adds another object on the object that proceeds it.

[derekbanas]

I plan on covering it in more depth when I start making browser / cross platform games

Is that it? Thats the complete DOM? There are hundreds of books out there, no more than 200 pages. And you teach the entire thing in 11:17 min. Your'e amazing! And i hope you have completed the entire DOM Derek!

I actually save mine as 720p because camtasia takes forever to process 1080p. What is bad quality wise, your picture or the sound? The reason my sound is so good is because I have the mic right next to my mouth. That is why I have to cut the videos up. If I didn't you'd hear me breathing. My monitor is 1920 x 1080p. I also have constant allergy problems. That is why my voice is so deep some times. Yes I sound like that in real life

[derekbanas]

Awesome!!! That is the goal I set when I make every video. Thank you :)

[derekbanas]

That sounds very cool! You should make some videos and share your talent with others. I'm sure many people would enjoy them :)

[derekbanas]

I use the standard mic you get with the iPod headphones. So that will set you back $20. They are very sensitive. When you make a video tell me. You can make nice money making YouTube videos. Just know when you start that they won't be that great. It takes time to improve. I improve constantly, or at least that is what I tell myself :)

@garihood1 Change this text is in a span so it isn't effected by my clicks. Some Bold Text is the first child in the div named divEx. I have the code on my site. It may make more sense if you see it in a static position. Just search for "newthinktank javascript video tutorial 5" I hope that helps

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome :) Thank you for the kind message
