A Gift of "Life" : The Document Object Model

The introduction of proprietary methodologies to induce "dynamic effects" in otherwise static documents have led to a state of chaos on the World-Wide Web (WWW). Pankaj Kamthan discusses the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1, an application programming interface (API) for HTML and XML documents, which brings order by standardizing these efforts.

DOM - The Document Object Model

The DOM or Document Object Model is the API that binds JavaScript and other scripting languages together with HTML and other markup languages. It is what allows Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to be dynamic and interactive.

JavaScript and the Document Object Model

While the Document Object Model (DOM) is perhaps best known in its role as a foundation for working with XML, variations on the theme actually started in browsers with HTML. Now DOM has come full circle as newer browsers implement the W3C Document Object Model through client-side scripting, such as JavaScript. This article looks at the JavaScript approach to DOM and chronicles the building of a Web page to which the user can add notes and edit note content.

Create rich client apps with the DOM

Move your Web applications beyond the handicap of the ubiquitous thin client architecture. Today's browsers finally support advanced client-side interactions across all objects in an HTML document. Thanks to the Document Object Model (DOM), UI designers can now create interfaces that let users manipulate data in real time while still offering the conveniences of a Web application. Author Mike Padilla shows you how to implement code that exposes robust client-side functionality that is both clean and extensible.

Objects and the Web: Document Objects with Style

Object Magazine, your independent source for Object-oriented news, analysis, and reviews brings you a look at how to document objects. David Carlson, our Web objects guru, takes a look at how XML might yield a revolution in Web-Object systems. Examine the fine points of Document Object Models and Extensible Style Language.

Define Document Object Model - a Whatis.com definition - see also: DOM

Document Object Model (DOM), a programming interface specification being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ), lets a programmer create and modify HTML pages and XML document s as full-fledged program object s. Currently, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language) are ways to express a document in terms of a data structure. As program objects, such documents will be able to have their contents and data hidden within the object, helping to ensure control over who can manipulate the document. As objects, documents can carry with them the object-oriented procedures called method s. DOM is a strategic and open effort to specify how to provide programming control over documents. It was inspired in part by the advent of the new HTML capabilities generally called dynamic HTML and as a way to encourage consistent browser behavior with Web pages and their elements. The Document Object Model offers two levels of interface implementati
