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 4.01] and [XHTML 1.0] documents. The Document Object Model Level 2 HTML builds on the Document Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core] and is not backward compatible with DOM Level 1 HTML [DOM Level 1].
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.
This is the W3C Proposed Recommendation of "DOM Level 2 HTML". It is based on the feedback from the implementers and the results of the DOM Level 2 HTML Test Suite.
W3C Advisory Committee representatives are invited to send formal review comments to the W3C Team until 6 December 2002 at dom-review@w3.org.
Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than "work in progress."
Some changes from DOM Level 1 HTML are incompatible with that specification but represent more accurately the state of deployed software. Therefore, this specification renders the DOM Level 1 HTML Recommendation obsolete. W3C strongly suggests that developers and authors conform to DOM Level 2 HTML instead.
The public is invited to send comments about this document to www-dom@w3.org; public archives of this mailing list are available.
