Manipulating the Nodes

You can use code to

• Add new elements or nodes
• Change the content of existing elements and nodes
• Delete selected elements/nodes

Node Methods supported by the DOM

Methods supported by the DOM which affect child nodes are

• insertBefore(newChild,refchild)
• replaceChild(newChild,oldChild)
• removeChild(oldChild)
• appendChild(newChild)

These methods allow us to replace the old, nonstandard document.write technique
