## WHAT I LEARN ABOUT DOM

The Document Object Model, or DOM, is a way for computers to understand and work with web pages. This helps us use code, like JavaScript, to change what’s on the page.

With the DOM, you can make a page more interactive. For example, you can make a button do something when it’s clicked, or change the text on the screen without reloading the page. You can also add or remove parts of the page while the user is using it.

Some common DOM tools are getElementById to find parts of the page, and addEventListener to make things happen when users click or type. The DOM helps turn boring,pages into, dynamic websites.

In simple terms, the DOM change, or add things to a webpage. It’s a basic but powerful skill every web developer needs to learn.
