    Hi Aruna,

    DOM stands for Document Object Model. In simple words, it means a standard, platform independent model used to represent advanced HTML and XML formats.

    A very simple example would be how a VBScript or a Javascript reads a webpage. It segregates the web page into different object hierarchies.

    For instance, Highest Object would be Window - Document - Form etc....

    Every Object in the hierarchy can have sub-objects. A window object can have History, Location etc as child objects.

    Using a DOM structure, it becomes easier to work with HTML / XML objects and navigate through them.

    Cheers.....
