Summary

In this chapter we examined the Document Object Model (DOM). Particularly, we focused on the DOM and DOMII APIs in detail. We began the chapter by explaining what the DOM is as well as what it is not in order to ground the remainder of the chapter. We introduced the DOM Document object and saw how Documents are logically represented. We walked through each of the interfaces defined in the DOM and DOMII APIs giving numerous examples where applicable. We ended by examining a number of DOM implementations and the differences between those implementations.
