W3C DOM Activities
The Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language neutral
Application Programming Interface (API) that allows programs to access and
update the content, structure, and style of a
document.
DOM Tutorials
To learn more about the DOM, read our HTML DOM tutorial
and our XML DOM tutorial.
DOM Level 0
The DOM Level 0 is not a W3C specification. It is just a definition of the functionality
equivalent to that found in Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 3.0.
Key players in the development of the DOM has been people from ArborText, IBM, Inso EPS,
JavaSoft, Microsoft, Netscape, Novell, the Object Management Group, SoftQuad,
Sun Microsystems, and Texcel.
W3C's DOM Level 1 builds on this functionality.
DOM Level 1
DOM Level 1 concentrates on HTML and XML document models. It contains
functionality for document navigation and manipulation.
DOM Level 1 was released as a W3C Recommendation 1. October 1998.
A Working
Draft for a Second Edition (SE) was published 29. September. 2000.
DOM Level 2
DOM Level 2 adds a style sheet object model to DOM Level 1, and defines
functionality for manipulating the style information attached to a document.
DOM Level 2
also defines an event model and provides support for XML namespaces.
The DOM Level 2 specification was released as W3C Recommendations 13.
