## HTML DOM Nodes
In HTML DOM (Document Object Model), every element is a **node**:
* The document is a document node.
* All HTML elements are element nodes.
* All HTML attributes are attribute nodes.
* Text inserted into HTML elements are text nodes.
* Comments are comment nodes.
* * *
## Document Object
When a browser loads an HTML document, it becomes a **Document Object**.
The Document Object is the root node of the HTML document.
The Document Object allows us to access all elements in the HTML page from scripts.
**Tip:** The Document Object is part of the Window object and can be accessed through the window.document property.
