What is a DOM?

DOM stands for Document Object Model and is generally pronounced like the first part of Dom Pérignon.  Document Object Models are used by web browsers to allow scripting languages, such as JavaScript, to interact with the elements or objects that constitute a web page.  Generally, if anything on a web page moves, appears or changes in any way after a web page has loaded, some part of the browser's DOM is being accessed.
