Title: DOM Magic
Type: Lab or Homework
Duration: "4:00"
Adapted from: jQuery Magic by Karolin Rafalski
Adapted to vanilla JS by Taylor Darneille from SEI-MAE
Competencies: create, append/remove elements in the DOM using jQuery, traverse the DOM, add/remove attributes, html tables
Prerequisites: JavaScript, HTML, CSS
You are now a wizard and you will no longer hard code html during your time at Hogwarts (or the duration of this assignment)
You will make things appear and disappear (and more) with the magic of javascript!
This assignment is recommended to be done with a Harry Potter theme. But if you are unfamiliar with Harry Potter, that's cool, you can make up all your wizard details.
- Make a directory called
hogwarts
. cd
into thehogwarts
foldertouch index.html
touch main.css
touch app.js
code .
body {background-color: #F8F7FF}/*or any color of your choosing*/
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ()=>{
console.log('DOM is loaded!')
})
!
+tab
to set up boilerplate html- Add a title inside the
<title>
tags (where will this title appear?) - Connect your CSS in the
<head>
tag:<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
- Add a
<div id="container"></div>
inside the<body>
tags - Connect your javascript at the bottom of the
<body>
tag:<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
open index.html
to open your webpage in the browser
⌘ ⌥ I
- to open Chrome Dev Tools- Check: did your background-color for your page load? Do you see your title in the tab? If not, fix it now.
- Check: did your console.logs log?
- comment out or delete your console.logs, now that you know everything is linked and loaded correctly.
- Set up your workflow, you will be going between your
index.html
app.js
files, your browser and these instructions - make it so you don't need to move your windows every time you need to change - Pull up the class notes on DOM lessons to have as a reference:
🔴 The commit message should read:
"Received Hogwarts letter - All files are linked and loaded"
Important : You are encouraged to comment out console.logs that you no longer need. There will be no further prompts for this advice.

Hint: Look under More Examples
, <p>Simple table with header</p>
at MDN to see the correct HTML element layout
- Right above your table add an
h5
that says 'Spring 2017' - Inside the table add a
thead
element - Inside the
thead
element add twoth
elements- in the first
th

🔴 The commit message should read:
"Year 4 - I realize I can make things that are ever increasingly more complex with greater ease. Adding order is always more effort than causing chaos."
Things get interesting
- Break your wand! (select the element that contains your wand and remove it)
- Class was hard! Drink all your butter beer! (remove just the butter beer from your list)
- Get a new wand (add the same element back with new text describing your new wand. Be sure to insert it after your pet in the DOM)
- Make your new wand stand out by adding a
color
ofindigo
(or whatever color you like). But do it with magic (DOM manipulation): Don't add this css in yourmain.css
file - Send your pet on a spy mission (remove your pet from the DOM, put it somewhere else in your HTML). Make sure your pet's leash stays in your trunk (list item with the same class as your pet inside
unordered list
) - Have your pet come back (remove your pet from the DOM, put it back in its original location)
🔴 The commit message should read:
"Year 5 - The days go by slowly and the years go by too fast"

- Nosey roommate falls asleep 2 seconds later. Show your secret belongings after 2+ seconds using a
setTimeout
to prevent showing your secret elements too soon. - Accident! You transmogrified your pet's leash into half cabbage
- add the class cabbage to your pet's leash. Do not replace your pet's leash's original class. Your pet, which also has the same class should remain unaffected
- add a rule of
color:chartreuse;
in yourmain.css
for all elements that have a class of cabbage
- Fix your pet's leash by removing the class of cabbage (be sure to keep your pet's leash's original class)

trunk
with a new property ofchest
- Add some CSS to your page. Feel free to experiment and make this page your own
