About This Reference
This section describes the guide itself: who it's for, how the information is presented, and how you can use the examples in the reference in your own DOM development.

Note that this document is under development, and is not currently a comprehensive listing of the DOM methods and properties implemented for Gecko. Each individual section of the document (e.g., the DOM Document Reference) is complete for the object(s) it describes, however.

Though the application interface and the content displayed by the browser are different in many practical ways, the DOM exposes them uniformly as a hierarchy of nodes. The tree structure of the DOM (which in its application to the user

API Syntax
Each description in the API reference includes the syntax, the input and output parameters (where the return type of the return type is given), an example, any additional notes, and a link to the appropriate specification.

Typically, read-only properties have a single line of syntax because those properties can only be gotten and not set. For example, the read-only property availHeight of the document object includes the following syntax information:
