// Oops, forgot the JavaScript again.

// The point of these concepts is to push the limits of CSS and realize what its capabilities and limitations are before implementing JavaScript for stateful interaction.
// Then, we can truly have separation of concerns without being tempted to use JavaScript for everything.

// Also, click event handlers and state management *should* always be done in JavaScript. =)
