Document Object Model
Browser provides a web API called 'document' which contains total style and struncture of the web page.
browser has its own js engine called v8.....we might have seen when we click a button then color change automatically, or an alert comes etc....
js changes html ... ... that means js changes html so it must need html code so that it can change or manipulate it... so browser puts all html into an object called document and js will take this document and change whatever it wants....
we write in html == hi
browser will create a document and write 'hi' js access document and changing to 'bye'
but ultimate output is document...
so user will see bye that's why js is powerful....
JavaScript can access, change HTML/CSS by using document object.
