What is DOM Manipulation?

Last Updated: 8th September, 2026

DOM Manipulation means changing the structure, content, or style of a webpage using JavaScript.

You can:

  • Update text
  • Change styles
  • Add/remove elements
  • Modify attributes

Code Examples

1️⃣ Changing Content

let title = document.querySelector("#title");
title.textContent = "Welcome to DOM!";

2️⃣ Changing HTML

document.querySelector(".box").innerHTML = "<h2>Hello</h2>";

3️⃣ Changing Styles

document.querySelector("p").style.color = "blue";

4️⃣ Creating Elements

let btn = document.createElement("button");
btn.textContent "Click Me";

document.body.appendChild(btn);

5️⃣ Removing Elements

document.querySelector(".item").remove();

Technical Example (Combined)

let div = document.querySelector(".container");

let newPara = document.createElement("p");
newPara.textContent = "New Content Added!";

div.appendChild(newPara);
div.style.backgroundColor "lightgray";

This shows:

  • Element creation
  • Content update
  • Style change
