JavaScript - Accessing DOM Elements

The HTML DOM (Document Object Model) is the owner of all other objects in your web page. If you want to access any element in an HTML page, you always start with accessing the document object. The DOM defines a standard for accessing HTML and XML documents.

The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document.

Below are some examples of how you can use the document object to access and manipulate HTML.


document.getElementById("{id}");
document.getElementsByTagName("{name}");
document.getElementsByClassName("{class}");

Changing HTML Elements Examples



document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = "Goodbye World";
document.getElementById("demo1").setAttribute("class","text-success");
document.getElementById("demo1").style.fontSize = "50px";
