I'm having problems with this question. Can anyone clarify why B is suppose to be the most correct answer. I thought C would be the better choice!

Question:
Which of the following best describes the Document Object Model (DOM)?


A. The DOM is the modeling of documents using properties and behaviors that exist in the object-oriented programming model.
B. The DOM is a general set of standards for Web browsing scripting languages.
C. The DOM is the interface that the DHTML uses to manipulate HTML and XML documents.
D. The DOM is the hierarchical representation of the objects that form a document, with each element considered an object.

B is correct.
In general, the DOM is a programming API for HTML and XML document. It is not wrong. But...
In W3C Specification, the most important objective of DOM is to provide a standard programming interface that can be used in a wide variety of environments and applications. Then...
C is wrong.

I don't see anywhere that states it's a set of standards???? Or am I just "nit pickin"?

....The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents. The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here at W3C and around the web........

Thanks anyways .....Hope it doesn't come up. I take the exam tommorrow.

Refer to the following:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/WD-DOM-19...troduction.html

Look at the Introduction, in the third paragraph "As a W3C specification, one important objective for the Document Object Model is to provide a standard programming interface that can be used in a wide variety of environments and applications."

Good luck!
