Under development by w3c since the mid-90s Under development by w3c since the mid-90s DOM 0 is supported by all JavaScript browsers DOM 0 is supported by all JavaScript browsers DOM 2 is the latest approved standard DOM 2 is the latest approved standard Nearly completely supported by NS6 Nearly completely supported by NS6 IE6’s support is lacking some important things IE6’s support is lacking some important things The DOM is an abstract model that defines the interface between HTML documents and application programs The DOM is an abstract model that defines the interface between HTML documents and application programs It is an OO model - document elements are objects It is an OO model - document elements are objects A language that supports the DOM must have a binding to the DOM constructs A language that supports the DOM must have a binding to the DOM constructs In the JavaScript binding, HTML elements are represented as objects and element attributes are represented as properties In the JavaScript binding, HTML elements are represented as objects and element attributes are represented as properties e.g., e.g., AW lecture notes

July 7, 2004 28 Programming for WWW (Lecture#5) In-Young Ko, Information Communications University Event Handling Event handlers can be specified in two ways: 1.By assigning the event handler script to an event tag attribute e.g., e.g., 2.Event handlers can be specified by assigning them to properties of the JavaScript objects associated with the HTML elements If the event handler is a function, just assign its name to the property If the event handler is a function, just assign its name to the property e.g., document.myForm.elements[0].onclick = myHandler; No way to use parameters No way to use parameters

The focus function puts the element in focus, which puts the cursor in the element The focus function puts the element in focus, which puts the cursor in the element e.g., document.getElementById("phone").focus(); e.g., document.getElementById("phone").focus(); The select function highlights the text in the element The select function highlights the text in the element
