Javascript - HTML Dom Methods: Elements

The HTML DOM (Document Object Model) represents an HTML document as a tree structure wherein each node is an object representing structural elements like <html>, <head>, <body>, <p>, etc. The DOM defines properties and methods to programmatically access and update all HTML elements using JavaScript. It allows modifying content, structure and styling of the document dynamically. The document object is the entry point to access and manipulate content in the page through the DOM.

The HTML DOM (Document Object Model)


When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page.
The HTML DOM is a standard object model and programming interface for HTML. It defines:

The HTML elements as objects

The properties of all HTML elements

The methods to access all HTML elements

The events for all HTML elements

In other words: The HTML DOM is a standard for how to get, change, add, or delete HTML
elements.

JavaScript - HTML DOM Methods


The HTML DOM can be accessed with JavaScript (and with other programming languages).
In the DOM, all HTML elements are defined as objects.
The programming interface is the properties and methods of each object.
A property is a value that you can get or set (like changing the content of an HTML element).
A method is an action you can do (like add or deleting an HTML element).
The HTML DOM document object is the owner of all other objects in your web page.

The document object represents your web page.


If you want to access any element in an HTML page, you always start with accessing the
document object.
