5,427 PointsUse querySelector / querySelectorAll only
I've used almost all for " querySelector / querySelectorAll " only and it works.
Would this be a good practice or should I be strictly using Sibling / Child in future for projects?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 32,790 PointsHonestly it depends on the situation. Using querySelector
and querySelectorAll
are wonderful when you have easily identifiable elements (i.e. with a class, id, or specific tag name) to import. Being able to traverse the DOM is important for when you don't have an easy identifier for an element(s) that you want to interact with. Another good example of when to use traversal over identification could be when you want to interact with an element in a specific position without having to add a class or id that specifies when the element is in that position.
Hope this helps!
