Testing the DOM API

Here, you will be provided samples for every interface that you can use in Web development. In some cases, the samples are complete HTML pages, with the DOM access in a <script> element, the interface (e.g., buttons) necessary to fire up the script in a form, and the HTML elements upon which the DOM operates listed as well. When this is the case, you can cut and paste the example into a new HTML document, save it, and run the example from the browser.

There are some cases, however, when the examples are more concise. To run examples that only demonstrate the basic relationship of the interface to the HTML elements, you may want to set up a test page in which interfaces can be

easily accessed from scripts.
