Ask HN: What does "node" refer to in javascript code on this page?
I am trying to understand the javascript on this page to copy it for my app to use for voting. So any help is appreciated. Thanks.
- coderdude 16y agoNode refers to an HTML element. HTML element: <p id="fun">test</p> JS to get a pointer to that element: var node = document.getElementById("fun"); node.id = "really_fun"; How that affects the HTML element: <p id="really_fun">test</p>
