Changing HTML and CSS

Changing HTML and CSS

Welcome to this lesson on Changing HTML and CSS. JavaScript is the programming language of the web, and changing html and css is a fundamental piece of that ecosystem.

Explanation

When your browser loads a web page, the HTML creates the structure, the CSS creates the style, and JavaScript creates the interactivity. JavaScript can update both HTML and CSS in real-time.

Code Examples

Here is a simple snippet demonstrating this concept:

el.textContent = "New Title";
el.style.color = "red";\n```

### Explanation of Code

In the example above, we define the logic required to implement the concept, and then execute it. The JavaScript engine parses this syntax and runs it.

**Common Mistake:** Watch out for syntax errors! Missing a bracket or a semicolon can sometimes break your entire script.
</Callout>

### Try It Yourself

Put this into practice! The BrowserCode runtime allows you to execute JavaScript securely in your browser.
