| 00:07 | video tutorial: start attribute applied on ol element objective: understanding start attribute and its values |
| 00:16 | in the next ordered list, players rank is: player A: 1 player B: 2 player C: 3 player D: 4 |
| 00:25 | let's remove player A from the list: player A: rank 1 |
| 00:35 | now player B has the rank 1 and this is not correct since this rank belongs to players A thing achievable through the start attribute |
| 00:41 | in order to fix this we need to make the list to start with number 2 |
| 01:05 | the list is now correct: rank 2 corresponds to player B |
| 01:09 | in the same way, if we remove player B from the list, we need to change the value of the start attribute (from 2 to 3) to reflect the reality |
