An HTML page has two components as shown in the figure below:

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


• The HTML DOM is the Document Object Model for HTML. The HTML DOM defines a standard set of objects for HTML and a standard way to access and manipulate HTML documents


• The HTML DOM views HTML documents as a tree structure of elements. All elements,along with their text and attributes,can be accessed and manipulated through the DOM tree


• The HTML code below shows DOM Body,Form and Input objects. The Input objects are embedded in the Form and the Form is embedded in the Body object


 


 1: <html>
 2:  <head></head>
 3:  
 4:  <body>
 5:   <form id=”loginForm”>
 6:    <input type=”text” id=”userName”/>
 7:    <input type=”submit” id=”login” value=”Login”/>
 8:   </form>
