                <h2>MutationObserver Example - Using the takeRecords() Method</h2>

<p>In this demo, the MutationObserver is watching for changes to the list. But in this case, the <code>takeRecords()</code> method is used to get info from and otherwise deal with the mutation record array.</p>

<p>When the <code>takeRecords()</code> method is called, the mutation queue is emptied before it's delivered to the callback function, so the callback function won't do anything in this intance. A console message will display for start/stop and to indicate the change that took place via the <code>takeRecords()</code> method.</p>
  
<ul id="myList" class="list">
  <li>Apples</li>
  <li>Oranges</li>
  <li>Bananas</li>
  <li class="child">Peaches</li>
</ul>

<p><button class="btnStart">Start Observing for Mutations</button> 
  <button class="btnStop" disabled>Stop Observing for Mutations</button></p>
<p><button class="btnChild">Add/Remove a Child Element</button></p>
