In this article, I look at the structure of a Web page from a Document Object Model point of view, examining children and parents and adding nodes to and editing nodes within an existing document. To illustrate this, I build a page where the user can create a series of notes to the page and edit their content. (The page won't get too fancy; I'll leave saving the content, moving them around, resizing them and such to you.) As this is something that could be accomplished without much trouble using DHTML techniques, why bother with DOM?
