Can't find a video referenced in the "JS and the DOM" section

Hi guys, the first video in the "JavaScript and the DOM" section uses a "to-do list" as an example, but for the sake of me I can't find a video where that "to-do list" was created in the first place. Especially where the event.target topic was covered. If you could point me in the right directly, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Taras (Terry) Babyuk!

Could you please share a link to the lesson you are referring to when you say "the first video"? Thanks!

Hi Lee,

It's the very first video of that topic. Here: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/using-parentnode-to-traverse-up-the-dom

I cannot find where that example page was built. Having trouble with the event.target topic.

Thanks.

Hi Taras (Terry) Babyuk!

Not quite sure I am following you here.

The video you linked is in the fifth section of the [JavaScript and the DOM] course. The application that Guil shows there is the same one that he has been using throughout the course, starting in the "A Simple Example" course in the "Getting a Handle on the DOM" section. Have you worked through the previous sections of this course?

It looks like event.target was first referenced in this lesson: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/the-event-object-2

If you are having problems with your specific code, please share a Snapshot of your Workspace (the camera icon towards the top right) along with a detailed description of the issue you are having and what you have tried so far.

Also, you might consider checking out the Downloads tap. You can download a "finished" version of the code there and compare that to what you have, which might help you spot your issue.

Break a leg!

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your detailed response. Sorry for confusing you, I meant to say it's the first video in the "Traversing the DOM" section, not "JavaScript and the DOM". I looked at the sections you mentioned and was able to find what I was looking for.

Thanks again.
