What is the document object model (DOM)?

JavaScript interacts with the page contents through an abstraction known as the document object model or, more typically, the DOM. The DOM consists of the HTML converted into a tree-based representation of the page’s contents. The browser builds the initial DOM based on the page’s HTML source, but from that point on the DOM can evolve as determined by the JavaScript.
