Mozilla Document Object Model Information

Back to Dave Eisenberg's Home Page

These pages summarize information I've discovered while experimenting with Netscape® 6 (in the form of Mozilla release 14 on Linux®). The information is intended for people who are already familiar with using JavaScript to manipulate dynamic HTML elements. However, if you're one of those folks who has been adding JavaScript to pages by copying code and tweaking it, the first topic gives you a very cursory introduction to the Document Object Model.

Here are the topics:

• Review of the Document Object Model
• Style Properties
• Where Properties Reside
• Using Properties on Multiple Pages
• Accessing Style Sheets
• JavaScript Access to Style Sheets
• JavaScript Example
• JavaScript DOM Utilities
• Summary

---

• CSS Property Tests

Throughout these pages, I am referring to Netscape 6 as Mozilla, since I am doing all my tests with Mozilla M15. The navigator.userAgent property, to be specific, returns:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20 i586; en-US; m15)
