  8. A browser loads an HTML website by creating a Document Object Model of that page. In the DOM, all the HTML elements are defined as objects and can be accessed using JavaScript. The HTML DOM document object is the owner of all other objects in your web page and represents your web page. You can access and modify any element in an HTML page, starting by accessing the document object first. For example

  • document.createElement(element)
    • This method creates a new HTML element
  • document.removeChild(element)
    • This Method remove an HTML element

I have added the following link for those interested in learning more about JS HTML DOM. Please visit JS HTML DOM for more details.

it’s similar to a shell interface, along with tools to inspect the DOM, debug and analyse network activity.
The Console can be used to log information as part of the JavaScript development process, as well as allow
you to interact with a web page by carrying out JavaScript expressions within the page’s context.
Essentially, the Console provides you with the ability to write, manage, and monitor JavaScript on demand.

To open the JavaScript Console in Chrome, you can navigate to the menu at the top-right of
your browser window signified by three vertical dots in a row. From there,
you can select More Tools then Developer Tools.

it to the Console with console.log.

4-

double-click a selected element and make changes
