W3C Document Object Model

This article answers my previous comments about DHTML in job postings.

W3C Document Object Model:

What is the Document Object Model?


The Document Object Model 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 document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here at W3C and around the web.

Why the Document Object Model?



'Dynamic HTML' is a term used by some vendors to describe the combination of HTML, style sheets and scripts that allows documents to be animated. The W3C has received several submissions from members companies on the way in which the object model of HTML documents should be exposed to scripts. These submissions do not propose any new HTML tags or style sheet technology. The W3C DOM Activity is working hard to make sure interoperable and scripting-language neutral solutions are agreed upon."

AJAX technology (see posts from last week) is actively being employed to replace DHTMl at companies such as ESPN in Conencticut.
