What is a Document Object Model?
In short, a Document Object Model (DOM) is a way of conceptualizing the contents of a document. In the real world, we all share something I’ll call a World Object Model. We can refer to objects in our environment using terms like “car,” “house,” and “tree” and be fairly certain that our terms will be understood. That’s because we have mutually agreed upon which objects the words refer to specifically. If I say “The car is in the garage,” it’s safe to assume that you won’t take that to mean “The bird is in the cupboard.” Our World Object Model isn’t restricted to tangible objects though—it also applies to concepts. For instance, I might refer to “the third house on the left,” when giving you directions. For that description to make sense, the concepts of “third” and “left” must be understood. If I give that description to somebody who can’t count, or who can’t tell left from right, then the description is essentially meaningless, whether or not the words have been understood. In reality
