What programming languages can I use with the DOM

What programming languages can I use with the DOM?

Answer:

This will depend on what hosting implementation you want to use it with. Your favorite browser might implement a JavaScript or VBScript interface, so you can use those scripting languages within the page itself to manipulate the page or change the CSS style sheet. Your favorite editor might implement a Scheme or Java interface so you can write an executable in those languages that talks to your editor to manipulate the page. You might be able to write an application in C++ that uses the DOM interface to transfer information from the page in your browser to a database via an ODBC driver. We are writing a set of interfaces; different companies will be able to implement these interfaces in different ways. It is unlikely that any one company will give you a choice of C++ and Java and Scheme and Perl and Python and ..., but interfaces in all these languages will be possible, since the DOM itself is language-neutral.
