Conformance. Editors Philippe Le Hégaret, W3C Lauren Wood, SoftQuad Software Inc., WG Chair Jonathan Robie, Texcel (for DOM Level 1) Introduction The Document Object Model (DOM) is an application programming interface (API) for valid HTML and well-formed XML documents. With the Document Object Model, programmers can build documents, navigate their structure, and add, modify, or delete elements and content. As a W3C specification, one important objective for the Document Object Model is to provide a standard programming interface that can be used in a wide variety of environments and applications. Note: OMG IDL is used only as a language-independent and implementation-neutral way to specify interfaces. What the Document Object Model is The DOM is a programming API for documents. <TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Shady Grove</TD><TD>Aeolian</TD></TR><TR><TD>Over the River, Charlie</TD><TD>Dorian</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> A graphical representation of the DOM of the example table is: What the Document Object Model is not.

DOM Recommendations: support claims. The following table indicates what claims are indicated by your user agent regarding the implementations of the W3C Document Object Model Recommendations. A list of W3C DOM Recommendations is available at If you get a year in a cell, your browser does not claim to support the DOM module for a given DOM Level. The year in the cell is the year of the release of the W3C DOM Recommendation that defines the DOM module.

This page does not: test all DOM implementations available in your user agent if more than one are available; It only tests the DOM implementation directly available from the document displayed, i.e. this page. check your user agent claims. Note: The XML and HTML modules require to have support for the core methods. This page uses primarily the W3C DOM Level 1 Recommendation and relies on the HTML 4.01 handling in your user agent.

AskMDN Twitter QA session, 29.07.2011. Values, Variables, and Literals - MDN Doc Center. This chapter discusses values that JavaScript recognizes and describes the fundamental building blocks of JavaScript expressions: variables, constants, and literals.

Values JavaScript recognizes the five following types of primitive values: Although these data types are a relatively small amount, they enable you to perform useful functions with your applications. Objects and functions are the other fundamental elements in the language. You can think of objects as named containers for values, and functions as procedures that your application can perform. Data type conversion JavaScript is a dynamically typed language. And later, you could assign the same variable a string value, for example: answer = "Thanks for all the fish Because JavaScript is dynamically typed, this assignment does not cause an error message.

In expressions involving numeric and string values with the + operator, JavaScript converts numeric values to strings. X = "The answer is " + 42y = 42 + " is the answer" Variables Unicode.

Douglas Crockford: Theory of the DOM (1 of 3) DOMString. This section defines a set of objects and interfaces for accessing and manipulating document objects. The functionality specified in this section (the Core functionality) is sufficient to allow software developers and web script authors to access and manipulate parsed HTML and XML content inside conforming products.

The DOM Core API also allows creation and population of a Document object using only DOM API calls; loading a Document and saving it persistently is left to the product that implements the DOM API. 1.1.1. The DOM Structure Model The DOM presents documents as a hierarchy of Node objects that also implement other, more specialized interfaces. The DOM also specifies a NodeList interface to handle ordered lists of Nodes, such as the children of a Node, or the elements returned by the getElementsByTagName method of the Element interface, and also a NamedNodeMap interface to handle unordered sets of nodes referenced by their name attribute, such as the attributes of an Element.

DOM events. This is currently supported by Opera 7+, Mozilla/Firefox, Konqueror 3.0+, Safari/Chrome, Internet Explorer 9+ in standards mode and NetFront 3.3+. It is also partially supported by iCab 3, ICEBrowser 5+, and Tkhtml Hv3. Espial claim that Escape/Evo 5 supports this, but it does not support even the basics. Note: Internet Explorer 8- on Windows does not comply with the standard here, so if you are testing, use a browser that supports the standard correctly, such as Opera. Internet Explorer 9+ drops support for the standard model in quirks mode and IE 7 compatibility mode, and will continue to need the Internet Explorer 8- workarounds.

I will give details later on how to get support for Internet Explorer 8- on Windows as well. Internet Explorer on Mac does not support either the DOM or IE events models. Problems with the traditional event models Traditionally, browsers had a simple way to listen for events, and run scripts when that happened. In many basic applications, this was adequate. Event - Introduction. Introduction This chapter describes the DOM Event Model. The Event interface itself is described, as well as the interfaces for event registration on nodes in the DOM, and event listeners, and several longer examples that show how the various event interfaces relate to one another. There is an excellent diagram that clearly explains the three phases of event flow through the DOM in the DOM Level 3 Events draft. Also see Example 5: Event Propagation in the Examples chapter for a more detailed example of how events move through the DOM. Registering event listeners There are 3 ways to register event handlers for a DOM element.

EventTarget.addEventListener myButton.addEventListener('click', function(){alert('Hello world');}, false); This is the method you should use in modern web pages. Note: Internet Explorer 6-8 didn't support this method, offering a similar element.attachEvent API instead. More details can be found on the EventTarget.addEventListener reference page. HTML attribute Properties.

EventTarget - MDN Docs. « DOM Reference Summary EventTarget is a DOM interface implemented by objects that can receive DOM events and have listeners for them. Element, document, and window are the most common event targets, but other objects can be event targets too, for example XMLHttpRequest, AudioNode, AudioContext and others. Many event targets (including elements, documents, and windows) also support setting event handlers via on... properties and attributes.

Methods EventTarget.addEventListener() Register an event handler of a specific event type on the EventTarget. EventTarget.removeEventListener() Removes an event listener from the EventTarget. EventTarget.dispatchEvent() Dispatch an event to this EventTarget. Specifications Browser compatibility Additional methods for Mozilla chrome code Mozilla extensions for use by JS-implemented event targets to implement on* properties. Void setEventHandler(DOMString type, EventHandler handler) EventHandler getEventHandler(DOMString type) See Also Document Tags and Contributors. CustomEvent - MDN Docs. The DOM CustomEvent are events initialized by an application for any purpose. Method overview Attributes Methods initCustomEvent() Initializes the event in a manner analogous to the similarly-named method in the DOM Events interfaces. void initCustomEvent( in DOMString type, in boolean canBubble, in boolean cancelable, in any detail ); Parameters type The name of the event. canBubble A boolean indicating whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not. cancelable A boolean indicating whether the event is cancelable. detail The data passed when initializing the event.

Constructor The DOM4 specification has added support for the CustomEvent constructor. CustomEvent( DOMString type, optional CustomEventInit eventInitDict ) Parameters eventInitDict An object which provides properties for the event. CustomEventInit bubbles A boolean indicating whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not. A boolean indicating whether the event is cancelable. CustomEvent example usage Browser compatibility Gecko notes. CustomEvent. 3. DOM Event Architecture 3.1 Event dispatch and DOM event flow This section defines the event dispatch mechanism of the event model defined in this specification. Applications MAY dispatch event objects using the EventTarget.dispatchEvent() method, and implementations MUST dispatch event objects as if through this method. The behavior of this method depends on the event flow associated with the underlying object.

An event flow describes how event objects propagate through a data structure. Event objects are dispatched to an event target. The propagation path MUST be an ordered list of current event targets through which the event object MUST pass. In the DOM event flow, event listeners might change the position of the event target in the document while the event object is being dispatched. Exceptions thrown inside event listeners MUST NOT stop the propagation of the event or affect the propagation path. As the next step, the event object MUST complete one or more event phases. Note. Event.initEvent - MDN Docs. The initEvent method is deprecated. Use event constructors instead. Summary The initEvent method is used to initialize the value of an event created using document.createEvent.

Syntax event.initEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable); type The type of event. bubbles A boolean indicating whether the event should bubble up through the event chain or not (see bubbles). cancelable; A boolean indicating whether the event can be canceled (see cancelable). Example event.initEvent("click", true, false); The page on dispatchEvent has a more useful example. Notes Events initialized in this way must have been created with the document.createEvent method. initEvent must be called to set the event before it is dispatchEvent.

Element.dispatchEvent - MDN Docs. Dispatches an Event at the specified EventTarget, invoking the affected EventListeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent(). Syntax canceled = ! Target.dispatchEvent(event) event is the Event object to be dispatched. target is used to initialize the Event.target and determine which event listeners to invoke. The dispatchEvent method throws UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR if the event's type was not specified by initializing the event before the method was called, or if the event's type is null or an empty string. Notes dispatchEvent is the last step of the create-init-dispatch process, which is used for dispatching events into the implementation's event model.

This is a guest post written by Simon Speich. Simon is a web developer, believer in web standards and a lover of Mozilla since Mozilla 0.8 (!). Today, Simon is experimenting with the File API and the new Slice() method introduced in Firefox 4. Here is how he implements a resume upload feature in a file uploader. Uploading a file is done with the XHR Level2 object. It provides different methods and events to handle the request (e.g., sending data and monitoring its progress) and to handle the response (e.g., checking if uploading was OK or an error occurred). For more information, read How to develop a HTML5 Image Uploader. Unfortunately, the XHR object does not provide a method to pause and resume an upload.
