This isn't quite the same thing. The instructions say to remove the <div> element from the DOM, but what this does is to leave the element in the DOM and just prevent it from being shown on the page.

It might look the same but it could cause other problems later on.

This was helpful for reinforcing why it's necessary to use the removeChild method, especially if another programmer is looking at your code. Thank you for this Steven :)
