... yes ? the name of this "tree of nodes" is not "Document object model" for nothing.
- onion2k 7y agoI know. The problem with that name is people seem to stop reading after "Document".
- TuringTest 7y agoThough the web is made of documents, not the objects within. There's no native way to link to specific objects in the DOM that are not identified as part of the document through an ID; the anonymous objects in the DOM can only be accessed programmatically, URLs have no syntax to traverse the tree like there is an "#anchor" section for accessing chapters.
