The Document Object Model (DOM), Part 4: A Final Word
The Document Object Model (DOM), Part 4 (7)
A Final Word
In this column we started to show you how to manipulate documents with the Document Object Model. We covered the properties that can be modified to affect the page appearance. We then listed all DOM's methods, their behaviors, and the values they expect or return. We have conveyed the idea that a method's behavior may not be that intuitive at times. We have also shown you how these methods behave under illegal inputs. In this column you learned:
- How to use properties to manipulate documents.
- How to use methods to manipulate documents.
- How to use the
removeNodemethod. - How to use the
replaceNodemethod. - How to use the
swapNodemethod.
