About This Episode:

Web pages don’t have to be static — with JavaScript, you can build, destroy, and duplicate elements on the fly. In this video, we’ll dive into the core DOM methods that let you take full control over your UI.

Here’s what you’ll master:
🧩 Creating nodes with createElement & createTextNode
📌 Inserting elements using append, appendChild, and prepend
🗑️ Removing nodes gracefully with .remove() and .removeChild()
🪞 Cloning entire elements with cloneNode(true/false)
⚡ Building dynamic UI components—like interactive tables, buttons, and more

You’ll see:
✅ Why innerHTML isn’t always your best friend
✅ How to dynamically add “Remove” and “Clone” buttons to a table
✅ A hands-on demo where rows can be added, deleted, or duplicated — all with clean JavaScript

By the end, you won’t just be reading the DOM — you’ll be shaping it, sculpting it, and breathing life into it 💡🚀

👉 Watch this video and unlock the power to create and control dynamic UIs!
