What is DOM and Javascript?

DOM stands for Document Object Model

The DOM is the list of commands used to access information about the browser, its content and computer and modify the HTML document

Originally all the different browsers in development came up with their own DOMS until the World Web Consortium (W3C) asked everyone to use a standard specification to enable all browsers to work the same

This means one way of writing Javascript regardless of which browser it runs on

Javascript is the programming language used to write the scripts

Looks similar to C, C++ and Java. The language used to interact with the DOM. First used on Netscape
