The term DOM Scripting refers to programmatically accessing the
Document Object Model (DOM). In common usage, DOM Scripting usually
implies the use of JavaScript, but could easily be accomplished by any
other programming or scripting language with access to the DOM. DOM
Scripting has its roots in DHTML, but is far more structured. It is the
third pillar in the web standards movement.
DOM Scripting vs. DHTML
Traditional DHTML
- uses JavaScript,
CSS and HTML
- tends to be browser-specific
- usually requires code forking
- web only
- was used with non-standardized markup
DOM Scripting
- uses a scripting language and valid markup (HTML/XHTML/XML/etc.)
- can be used with any valid document type
- can be used with any programming/scripting language
- is browser independent
- degrades gracefully
