DOM Level 2 Recommendation

On 13 November, DOM Level 2 became a W3C Recommendation. DOM is the Document Object Model that provides a platform and language neutral interface to access and update dynamically a document's content, structure, and style. DOM level 1 essentially provided these facilities for documents written in HTML 4.0. DOM Level 2 provides extended support for XML documents, including namespace support, and support for Cascading Style Shetts (CSS). The DOM Level 2 CSS API gives a script author the ability to dynamically reformat content from scripting languages such as JavaScript while the Events API enables the creation of user interfaces that are rich and interactive and run across a range of platforms and devices.
