DOM Enlightenment

This concise book demystifies the Document Object Model (DOM), a set of tools for manipulating documents and responding to user input. The DOM has been at the heart of web application development for a decade and a half, but developers have largely buried the DOM under frameworks that simplify its use and minimize the impact of different browser versions.
DOM Enlightenment brings these important tools back into focus. You’ll learn how to build reliable applications with minimal overhead by using the DOM directly. JavaScript expert Cody Lindley takes a code-centric approach to show you the most efficient access to the HTML you need to manipulate.
