DOM clobbering. In internet security, DOM clobbering (where DOM stands for Document Object Model) is a type of injection attack that revolves around the attacker being able to insert benign non-script HTML code that can be used to influence the execution of JavaScript code. This enables a skilled attacker to perform a variety of unwanted ...
Cross-site scripting. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications. XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy.

Event bubbling. Event bubbling is a type of DOM event propagation [1] where the event first triggers on the innermost target element, and then successively triggers on the ancestors (parents) of the target element in the same nesting hierarchy till it reaches the outermost DOM element or document object [2] (Provided the handler is initialized).
A virtual DOM is a lightweight JavaScript representation of the Document Object Model (DOM) used in declarative web frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Elm. [1] Updating the virtual DOM is comparatively faster than updating the actual DOM (via JavaScript) [2]. [citation needed] Thus, the framework is free to make necessary changes to the ...
Influenced by. JavaScript and XML. Ajax (also AJAX / ˈeɪdʒæks /; short for " asynchronous JavaScript and XML " [ 1 ][ 2 ]) is a set of web development techniques that uses various web technologies on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send and retrieve data from a server asynchronously ...
