dom-examples

Code examples that accompany various MDN DOM and Web API documentation pages.

Note

You can include an example directly in MDN pages using {{EmbedLiveSample()}} macros or regular Markdown code blocks. These methods are simpler to maintain as the code lives beside the rest of the content. Only add examples to this repository if your example doesn't easily run on MDN pages for technical or security reasons.
