Why DOM?

Recommended Posts

I was looking through the DOM Tutorial and realize something when I look at the examples.DOM is just a fancy word someone made up to mean "It's just JavaScript"I was just wondering what the point of "DOM" is, or even having a "DOM" section if all it is, is some JavaScript. Why not just have it all in a JavaScript section?

DOM stands for Document Object Model. It is specifically about the document object of javascript and what you can do with it. It is the same as when programmers talk about COM or COM+ it is all C/C++ just a specific portion of the language.hey, ActiveX is just Visual Basic....there is lots of that out there. ADO referes to the database connectivity of ASP.
