FAQ Topic - What is the Document Object Model (DOM)?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a interface-based model for ` Document `
objects. The DOM allows scripts to dynamically access and update a
document's content, style, and event handlers.

The DOM is _not_ part of the ECMAScript programming language.

Official DOM standards are defined by the World Wide Web Consortium.
Scriptable browsers also have proprietary DOM features (

),
such as ` document.writeln() `.
