hi,

The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document."

The W3C DOM provides a standard set of objects for HTML and XML documents, and a standard interface for accessing and manipulating them.

The W3C DOM is separated into different parts (Core, XML, and HTML) and different levels (DOM Level 1/2/3):

* Core DOM - defines a standard set of objects for any structured document
* XML DOM - defines a standard set of objects for XML documents
* HTML DOM - defines a standard set of objects for HTML documents


* The XML DOM is the Document Object Model for XML
* The XML DOM is platform- and language-independent
* The XML DOM defines a standard set of objects for XML
* The XML DOM defines a standard way to access XML documents
* The XML DOM defines a standard way to manipulate XML documents
* The XML DOM is a W3C standard

The DOM views XML documents as a tree-structure. All elements; their containing text and their attributes, can be accessed through the DOM tree. Their contents can be modified or deleted, and new elements can be created. The elements, their text, and their attributes are all known as nodes.
