Why didn't you introduce the idea of a string "" being passed to js? The transcript never includes why we place our HTML in a string. This is so frustrating. I have seen this happen in other places and I am getting really tired of you placing stuff that needs to be tested, without covering it in the course (previous) first! I would not have mentioned the feedback here, but the Keep Going feedback keeps hanging.

It's important to strike a balance. I remember looking at the examples of websites Dave showed us in the video and thinking .... "woah, there's no way I'm ready for that yet", but having taken the course I can promise you that Dave tells us everything we need to know to get through the course and doesn;t give us to do anything we can't handle
