DOM Domain
This domain exposes DOM read/write operations. Each DOM Node is represented with its mirror object
that has an id
. This id
can be used to get additional information on the Node, resolve it into
the JavaScript object wrapper, etc. It is important that client receives DOM events only for the
nodes that are known to the client. Backend keeps track of the nodes that were sent to the client
and never sends the same node twice. It is client's responsibility to collect information about
the nodes that were sent to the client. Note that iframe
owner elements will return
corresponding document elements as their child nodes.
