The calling

Instructions

Congrats! You created the very first base for your being and you witnessed its appearance on the digital world - your browser. But so far, it's a tiny seed of the marvelous thing it could become ; be patient, there still is a bit of work.

First of all, instead of writing down what things are (you're not writing down on your hand the word 'hand', are you?) we're going to identify them semantically with the very practical id attribute.
This id has to be a unique identifier in your webpage, which will allow you to target your element if needed. Your can compare it to your name & surname ; this is what is identifying you to other people, and if someone's calling you by your name, you answer.

So let's identify the 3 elements we have so far: in each section, remove the text content from inside the tag and set it as the value of the id attribute of the corresponding section text.

Open the page in the browser:
you don't see anything? Don't freak out!
Inspect the HTML that have been created with your browser inspector tool, & if you done it correctly, you should see inside the body the 3 sections with the id attribute set in your HTML structure.

Code examples

Set the id of a div tag to "my-lil-div":

<div id="my-lil-div"></div>
