Javascript DOM and Events with syntax and examples

DOM (Document Object Model):

- The DOM is a tree-like structure that represents the HTML document.
- The DOM allows JavaScript to interact with the HTML document.
- The DOM provides methods and properties to manipulate the HTML document.

DOM Syntax:

- Selecting elements:
    - document.getElementById('id')
    - document.getElementsByClassName('class')
    - document.getElementsByTagName('tag')
- Manipulating elements:
    - element.innerHTML = 'new content'
    - element.style.color = 'red'
    - element.setAttribute('attribute', 'value')

Examples:

- DOM:


// Selecting elements
const header = document.getElementById('header');
const paragraphs = document.getElementsByClassName('paragraph');
const links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

// Manipulating elements
header.innerHTML = 'New Header';
paragraphs[0].style.color = 'blue';
links[0].setAttribute('href', '(link unavailable)');


Events:

- Events are triggered by user interactions or browser actions.
- Events allow JavaScript to respond to user interactions.
- Events provide methods to handle event listeners.

Event Syntax:

- Adding event listeners:
    - element.addEventListener('event', function() { code })
- Removing event listeners:
    - element.removeEventListener('event', function() { code })

Examples:

- Events:


// Adding event listeners
const button = document.getElementById('button');
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
    console.log('Button clicked!');
});

// Removing event listeners
button.removeEventListener('click', function() {
    console.log('Button clicked!');
});


Event Types:

- Mouse events:
    - click
    - dblclick
    - mousedown
    - mouseup
    - mouseover
    - mouseout
- Keyboard events:
    - keydown
    - keyup
    - keypress
- Form events:
    - submit
    - change
    - focus
    - blur

By mastering the DOM and events, you will be able to create dynamic and interactive web pages. Remember to practice and experiment with different examples to solidify your understanding.
