In class we are learning JavaScript, and we have to find out how to stop the button click from repeatedly adding the count with .insertbefore I'm stumped as to why it continually inserts the count.
function clicked() {
console.log("Clicked!");
var count = "Node Count: "+countChildren(document.getElementById("content"));
console.log(count);
try {
var span = document.createElement("span");
span.innerHTML = count;
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].insertBefore(span, document.getElementById("content"));
} catch(ex) {
console.log("error "+ex)
}
}

Modify your button HTML like this
<input type ="button" onclick="clicked(); this.onclick=null;"/>
so when once click function is executed, this will stop further clicking actions
