 # JavaScript Demo
 
-Now that we a UI that looks like a todo app, we need to add functionality to make it **function** like a todo app. In this example we are going to use raw JavaScript to explicitly modify our application as we interact with it. This will be in stark contrast to the implicit approach we will take when we do this with React in the next exercise.

 This demo starts off with a few elements already in place. Let's walk through what's already here.
 
-- **clearInput()** - This is a generic, reusable function that takes in a `selector` parameter, finds the first matching element, and sets the element's value to an empty string. This direct modification is called a side effect.
-- **getTodoText()** - This is a quick helper function that returns the value inside of our textfield. Notice how some functions return values and how you can set that return to a variable.
-- **filter()** - This function takes in a `filterName` string, and a `button` which is a reference to the clicked button.
-  1. Remove any `selected` class names.

+  1. Remove the `selected` class from the previously selected element.
   2. Add `selected` to the clicked button.
   3. Set `filterName` to the clicked button's `innerText` value.
-  4. Get all of the todos with [querySelectAll](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelectorAll), and then loop through them.

-1. `todo` is set to equal the first todo item.
-2. `newTodo` is a clone of todo. Passing true means it is a deep clone, so we get the todo's children as well. Cloning does not duplicate the DOM node. We'll need to insert it in step 4.

    > Note that this approach is very fragile, as it requires a todo node to always be present on the page.
-3. We set the innerText of the `<span class='title'>` to the value returned from getTodoText.
-   > Note that if we left off the `()` we'd actually be assigning innerText to the 'function' instead of the function return.
-4. Insert our new todo into the todo's parent (the `ul`), before our reference todo. [insertBefore](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/insertBefore)

 ### Triggering functions from click events
 
 Now that we have a working `addTodo` function, we need a way to trigger it when the user is ready. This can be done in two ways.
 
-1. We can find the element with querySelector, then set its `onclick` to our function
