What is the Document Object Model (DOM)?

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface for web documents. It represents the structure of a document (like an HTML or XML file) as a tree of objects, allowing developers to access and manipulate the content, structure, and style of a webpage.

How do you select an element from the DOM?

Use document.getElementById, document.getElementsByClassName, document.getElementsByTagName, document.querySelector, and document.querySelectorAll to select DOM elements by ID, class, tag, or CSS selector.

What is event delegation in the context of the DOM, and why is it useful?

Event delegation is a technique in the DOM where a single event listener is added to a parent element instead of individual listeners for each child element. When an event occurs on a child element, it bubbles up to the parent, where the event can be handled.

How do you manipulate an element's attributes and styles using the DOM?

You can manipulate an element's attributes and styles in the DOM using specific methods and properties. To get an attribute's value, use getAttribute(), while setAttribute() allows you to change or add an attribute. To remove an attribute, use removeAttribute(). For styles, you can modify inline styles using the style property, where you can directly set CSS properties. To retrieve computed styles, use getComputedStyle(), which gives you the final styles applied to an element. These methods enable effective control over attributes and styles in the DOM.
