Document Object Model in JavaScript - Part One

Introduction

 
In this article, we learn about DOM (Document Object Model) in JavaScript. The DOM is created when the web page is loaded. It allows access to the entire HTML Page. JavaScript can change the HTML elements, HTML attribute, CSS styles in the page. JavaScript can add and remove the HTML elements and attributes, and react to all the existing elements in the event.
 

DOM Structure

 
When you open any web page in the browser, the HTML of the page is loaded and presented to the screen. JavaScript can be used to dynamically add a page's DOM to add, delete, and modify elements. The DOM represents a document as a tree structure.
 
Document Object Model in JavaScript
 
Since the body is an element of the DOM, you can access it using the document object and modify the content of the internal HTML property.
 
For Example: document. bodyinnerHTML = (“text”)
 

DOM Nodes

 
All HTML Elements are treated as nodes or objects. The nodes are attributes, elements, text, link, document, etc.…
  • Document -Document node
  • HTML element – Element node
  • HTML attribute – Attribute Nodes
  • Text inside HTML elements – Text nodes

  • getAttribute() – get new attribute
  • setAttribute() – set the new attribute
  • removeChild() – remove elements
  • createElement() – Create New element
  • createTextNode() – Text write in a element
  • appendChild() – join the object
