In this tutorial, I have found out that viz.selectAll('circles') is not listed in the html script. it is only circle

All I see is viz.selectAll('circle') viz.selectAll('circle').data(data) does not work also

Hi Michael,

This caused me a headache too, to be honest. I almost wrote a bug report to the Treehouse support. But after replaying the video a couple of times, I finally spotted that Huston had set up a breakpoint in the sources panel by clicking on the 19th line and then refreshed the page, which paused the JavaScript execution from that point. I didn't notice that because I personally never used that part of the devtools, so I didn't know what that does. So, if you do the same, it will work just fine.

And for the circle/circles question: It's a ghost selection and it's not related to the actual circle SVG element, so it could be named anything. This ghost selection is still confusing me, however.

Anyway, hope I could help!
