Abstract

This specification defines the Document Object Model Level 2 HTML, a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content and structure of HTML documents. The Document Object Model Level 2 HTML builds on the Document Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core] and on the Document Object Model Level 1 HTML [DOM Level 1].

The DOM Level 2 HTML is made of a set of specific interfaces to manipulate the structure and contents of an HTML document.
