DOM

As we should all know by now, DOM stands for Document Object Model. The definition given by W3C states that "the DOM is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents."

The overall concept of the DOM is to create a standard for all the HTML, styles, and script that have to be animated into a web page. The vendors will then have a set way to manage and create for the Web and should make for a sort of compatibility across the Web as well.

As for my personal opinion on the DOM, I like it. I mean, it works for me and it makes sense considering it flows in that tree chart, or whatever it's called. I'm not sure what else they did or could do to manage the way all the elements of a HTML file would appear on the Web. So, either way, it works for me and that's fine.

You like DOM? Wow....I think your the first in our class. I like DOM as much as I like Wall-e: They are both way overrated and could be better :P

I still like CSS. It's a lot more user friendly.

Down with DOM and javascript.....

...and Wall-e
