Please explain what is the abbreviation and the meaning of DOM. Why it is used for.
Hi...
DOM means Document Object Model. & it is used for reading/updating XML pages.
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.....
