The Document Object Model is a language-independent interface which treats the structure of HTML and XML files as a logical tree, with each node representing an object. By using the DOM, programming languages such as JavaScript can traverse the tree and trigger events to happen through user interaction.
Each node has event handlers attached to it, which are executed when triggered by an event, such as a mouse click.
