JavaScript == $0 Never Seen Before

Question

I'm inserting a video tag into a webpage but the video for some reason doesn't show up even though it's found the video resource.

I looked in the console and found == $0 which I've never seen before and didn't know if it had something to do with it.

Does anyone know what this means?

`$0` is just an identifier. You can use `var $0 = whatever` – Oriol May 09 '16 at 22:03 — Oriol, May 09 '16 at 22:03

That isn't JavaScript. It is just a marker to tell you which DOM element you have selected in the DOM inspector.

You can type $0 in the Console to get the currently selected element.

You can also use `$1` to get the previously selected element. – evolutionxbox May 09 '16 at 23:21
And `$$0` to get them as either a node list or html element list (I can't remember which) – evolutionxbox May 09 '16 at 23:22
