JS DOM Basics
Description #
The Document Object Model is not technically Javascript. It is an API (application programming interface) provided by the browser. This API provides Javascript with a bunch of built in functions it can use to interact with the DOM. These functions are available in all browsers.
The DOM is the representation of the nodes or elements of a web page in code. The DOM is exposed through special objects to Javascript: ie document, window.
