I can see from your question that you didn’t understand, but I’m not sure how
to clear things up.
The DOM tree needs to match the document structure and can’t be influenced by
style. This is what makes the DOM API work; the DOM tree is a parsed form of
the document explicitly exposed as API. Style can change many ways at times
when the DOM must not change, for example, when a stylesheet finishes loading,
the styles from that sheet can affect how the DOM elements are displayed. We
can’t change the DOM tree in response to style changes.
I think we’ll have to get to a more specific question to have a useful
discussion.
