Why is DOM (Document Object Modelling) used by HTML programmers?
404221
"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. "\n\nCheck the link. W3C has made the standards for DOM... Unfortunately, we still have to wait until browsers will fully suport DOM. For further documentation read this too: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/

Well, yes, technically HTML is text markup and CSS is layout markup, but you still may need to learn them.\n\nYou have said nothing about what you already have and/or know.  To create interactive web sites you will still need to know some basics about the standards (HTML, CSS, flash, JavaScript). \nTo program the "server side" to react to the user's input, you will either need to use a programming language like PHP (pretend it's a language), Python, Ruby, or Java.  You can also find many server side applications that will handle all the background stuff, but then you will have to learn their syntax.  These are sometimes called application frameworks or servers.  Some free ones are PHP (it's kinda this too), Plone,  Ruby on Rails, and Zillions more.

Now a days there are a lots of things that you only can do from client-side with JavaScript. There are no alternet solutions. There are number of atributes that you can set with JavaScript which can't be set with anything else.

Everything is hot! \n\nOpenScource Tools based on PHP/MySQL is the hottest one. Ofcourse MS .net is in the race along with Java. But the best thing to note is that all programming languages are in the bandwagon to integrate XML. \n\nCheers\nSathu

is this ASP.NET?\n\ntry creating a function wrapper that verifies that an object is active before firing the event, if the event is being fired before the page is loaded it doesn't have the DOM to locate the control

If you do not populate the list with DOM and have all elements be static (generated by a server side program, perhaps), the rendering time should be slowest.\n\nIE is not very good at rendering complex or big things.

why write one when there are literally hundreds out there on the web that already do this?\n\nhttp://internet.javascript.com has a lot.

Frontpage has been out there for a good while but to much HTML scripting. Dreamweaver is good and makes the creation of web pages easier.

presumably a language with inherent XML support\n\nI would steer clear of .net since its idea of XML is non-standard (ms specific in most areas)\n\njava 1.5 fully supports XML parsing and generation, the real advantage here is its cross platform support\n\nRuby is said to be make the most logical sense syntactically , so I would suggest this language. If portability isn't an issue.\n\nPHP's latest incarnation is said to be very powerful, however I don't see any distinct advantages in using it

The purpose of a DTD (Document Type Definition) is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document. It defines the document structure with a list of legal elements.\n\nWell formed XML is just the structure and form of the code. It has to be well written.\n\nValid XML is when you parse it and load it for reading, it will not give any errors.

there is no version but 1.0, there never will be!\n\nit's like a new version of binary... there is no point\n\nxhtml 1.0 1,1 and 2.0 are based on xml (and derived from html)\n\nxml is pure data, no fluff , no layout, no crap!\n\nstylesheets go with xml to beat the crap out of html!\n\nthere is a DIFFERENCE between xml and xhtml!\n\nand the final answer is YES!

Well, you could also use the "InnerHTML" property for HTML objects. An example is as follows:\n\n<P id="myParagraph>\n    This is a paragraph\n</P>\n\nIn a JavaScript function (on a button click, etc.):\n\nfunction onButtonClicked() \n{\n// ...\nmyParagraph.InnerHTML = "This paragraph has been changed!";\n}\n\nThis sounds like what you were looking for. =)

Hi... in this world (net) everything is possible... and VB and HTML... are primitive languages for websites and programing!!!

Yup!\n\na simple little javascript command (that few people use!) is dependent on the way the browser designers decide to do it!\n\nThere is no standard for placement... You can get a lot better compatibility with AJAX (the domscripting part) techniques.\n\nCool sites pop 'windows 'right in the middle of the main page... \n\nI use jquery(a javascript library) to do this type thing, so can you!

Great!! \nJavascript should support its existing procedures and syntax and in addition give OOP support. That would be really really great.\nAnd that really means a lot b/c by the increased usage of Ajax, javascript is supposed to handle a lot of things (even business logics at sometimes). Many full-featured ajax applications are using OOP like ways to code their bussiness logics but they have to use events etc. By incorporating OOP in javascript this problem will be solved.
