The DOM is often referred to as the DOM tree, and consists of a tree of objects called nodes. In the Introduction to the DOM, we went over what the Document Object Model (DOM) is, how to access the document object and modify its properties with the console, and the difference between HTML source code and the DOM.
In this tutorial, we will review HTML terminology, which is essential to working with JavaScript and the DOM, and we will learn about the DOM tree, what nodes are, and how to identify the most common node types. Finally, we will move beyond the console and create a JavaScript program to interactively modify the DOM.
Thanks for learning with the DigitalOcean Community. Check out our offerings for compute, storage, networking, and managed databases.
The Document Object Model, usually referred to as the DOM, is an essential part of making websites interactive. It is an interface that allows a programming language to manipulate the content, structure, and style of a website. JavaScript is the client-side scripting language that connects to the DOM in an internet browser.

In the code for this tutorial, it will not perform as coded because the file ‘script.js’ is not the source; the code should reflect src= js/script.js. The tutorial specifically mentions to create a folder ‘js’ to place the script file; therefore the src=‘js/script.js’ executes, but not src=‘script.js’ Nothing will happen when you click the button because the file can’t be found, without reference to the’js’ directory folder.
