What to do When working with the DOM

When working with the DOM (Document Object Model) in JavaScript, you're essentially interacting with the structure of an HTML document. Here are some key concepts and methods you might find useful:

1. Selecting Elements

  • getElementById(id): Selects an element with a specific ID.
    let element = document.getElementById('myId');
    
  • getElementsByClassName(className): Selects all elements with a specific class name.
    let elements = document.getElementsByClassName('myClass');
    
  • getElementsByTagName(tagName): Selects all elements with a specific tag name.
    let elements = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
    
  • querySelector(selector): Selects the first element that matches a CSS selector.
    let element = document.querySelector('.myClass');
    
  • querySelectorAll(selector): Selects all elements that match a CSS selector.
    let elements = document.querySelectorAll('div.myClass');
    

2. Manipulating Elements

  • Changing Content:
    element.textContent = 'New content';
    element.innerHTML = '<p>New HTML content</p>';
    
  • Changing Styles:
    element.style.color = 'red';
    element.style.backgroundColor = 'blue';
    
  • Adding/Removing Classes:
    element.classList.add('newClass');
    element.classList.remove('oldClass');
    element.classList.toggle('toggleClass');
    
  • Setting Attributes:
    element.setAttribute('src', 'image.jpg');
    element.setAttribute('alt', 'Description');
    
  • Removing Elements:
    element.remove();
    

3. Event Handling

  • Adding Event Listeners:
    element.addEventListener('click', function() {
      alert('Element clicked!');
    });
    
  • Removing Event Listeners:
    function handleClick() {
      alert('Element clicked!');
    }
    element.addEventListener('click', handleClick);
    element.removeEventListener('click', handleClick);
    

4. Creating and Appending Elements

  • Creating Elements:
    let newElement = document.createElement('div');
    newElement.textContent = 'Hello, World!';
    
  • Appending Elements:
    document.body.appendChild(newElement);
    

5. Traversing the DOM

  • Parent Node:
    let parent = element.parentNode;
    
  • Child Nodes:
    let children = element.childNodes;
    
  • Sibling Nodes:
    let nextSibling = element.nextSibling;
    let previousSibling = element.previousSibling;
