Great quick piece.
It would be great if you could have detailed a bit more about what specific kind of tree the DOM is. How is it transversed and how that affect the painting of a page, resources fetching and so on.
That is definitely getting into browser internals that I have only a little familiarity with. I would love to see a post on that though!
Did you know that #document is a node as well. I guess that makes sense given that
document.bodyanddocument.headare not roots, this isn't a multiroot tree.I think after many years I still have fundamental gaps in my knowledge and so it's good to read little posts like this.
What are some other gaps that you have discovered lately?
Great question!
I have written a lot of posts lately about wierd bits I thought I knew.
Good first piece my guy. The only critique I have is show the document.body.firstElementChild on a browser via a screenshot or something if you got what I'm saying. I'm definitely giving you a follow though for the effort you put it into this article. Shout out to you.
Great article, maybe elaborate a bit on why .firstElementChild works in this case, because if one has no knowledge what so ever on document it may not be obvious. Otherwise, keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it
