The HTML is converted into a DOM object. This object is used by javascript and web browser to access the HTML. This object clearly meets the javascript OO. > Your analogy is bogus. > The C preprocessor is defined in the same document as the rest of the > language; > that's not the case with DOM, HTML and JavaScript. My analogy is spot on. Where did you get the idea that C is in a single document. Have you heard of import? HTML includes using <script> and <style>. > And server side scripts were available outside of Netscape in 1996. Regardless, the browsers and javascript are tightly interconnected because the DOM object is a javascript object.
