JavaScript

//If you don't want to move the source element then you got to clone it. By default it extracts and moves the original node

// Hunting flags in the Document
//
// Using only the built-in DOM methods
// Find the three elements that have the text "FLAG" inside them
// and move them (the element) into the div with id of #bucket
//
// Hint: You can use
//     document.getElementById
//     document.getElementsByTagName
//     document.getElementsByClassName
//     document.querySelector
//     document.querySlectorAll
// and all the parent, child and sibling selectors
var bucketElem = document.getElementById("bucket");
var bucketUl = document.createElement("ul");
bucketElem.appendChild(bucketUl);


// 1) get FLAG 1
var flagElem = document.querySelector("#container div.main ul li:nth-child(2)");
var flagClone = flagElem.cloneNode(true); 
console.log(flagClone);
bucketUl.appendChild(flagClone);


// 2) get FLAG 2
var flagElem = document.querySelector("a.flag");
console.log(flagElem);
bucketUl.appendChild(flagElem);


// 3) get FLAG 3
var flagElem = document.querySelector("div.footer div div div div:nth-child(1)");
console.log(flagElem);
bucketUl.appendChild(flagElem);
// bonus: write a function to crawl the entire document and search for the "FLAG" text, and do the job for you.
