Document Object Model Classroom Training and Certification Classes

The piece of software that considers the parsed XML or HTML document and therefore makes it available for processing through the DOM interfaces is said to be DOM implementation. It is also called as host implementation.

The implemented document is allowed to perform certain task with the help of the software called DOM application software. The browser that allows to a script is an example of such an application. The application is also called as a client application.

Based on the support of the browser, the DOM can be used in the HTML page in two ways,

• By writing a JavaScript or VBScript
• By the usage of an external application such as plug-in, ActiveX control or Java applet

If consistent results have to be obtained, the pages should not be broken in general. In that case, if you mix JavaScript or VBScript, there is a possibility of getting some odd results.
