Let’s Look at the HTML Markup
Lab: Customizing the “Read More” Link in Beans
Video Runtime: 09:16
In this episode, let’s devise a strategy for finding where the “read more” code is being processed in Beans. The strategy I use is to start with the end result, which in this case is the HTML in the browser. Using Developer Tools, you’ll inspect the HTML (in either Firefox or Chrome). Then we’ll talk about different strategies you can use to find the source code that builds (renders) this HTML.
We’ll also talk about what the term “render” means as we talk about how web servers and browsers work.
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
