Image for DOM Manipulation

DOM Manipulation

DOM manipulation refers to the process of changing, adding, or removing elements on a webpage using programming, typically JavaScript. The DOM (Document Object Model) is like a digital blueprint of a webpage, representing its structure—such as text, images, and layout. When you manipulate the DOM, you're dynamically updating the content or appearance of the webpage without reloading it. This allows for more interactive and responsive websites, like updating a shopping cart, showing/hiding sections, or changing styles based on user actions. It's a core technique in creating modern, dynamic web experiences.
