I was stuck for 2 days while trying to figure out how to integrate an Upload button on my website. Everything on the net was inappropriate for what I wanted. I believed that I could style and adjust with Bootstrap controls, like everything else. I hadn't done any JS in a while so that made it double difficult.

Your example and the way you explained the JS was perfect and easy to follow. After watching your video and studying it and taking it apart, I was able to implement it. Even though my layout was different and some of my control were in a different places, your illustration of the concepts let me make exactly what I wanted in a hour or two.

Thanks.

Sorry, this is off topic and not the best place to ask such questions.
I figured you'd probably know a way to intercept a site's ads in a clean way using JS, my idea is to have a button that toggles the ads on my blog.
Can you please share some of your wisdom in JS.
