Overview

We get excited over new HTML5 APIs and new CSS features, but many developers aren’t aware of the diverse array of native DOM features that are available — many of them supported as far back as IE6. In this talk, Louis will discuss and show examples demonstrating practical use cases for features like insertAdjacentHTML(), getBoundingClientRect(), scrollIntoView(), contains(), normalize(), and lots more.

He’ll also point out how developers can research different DOM features along with their browser support, which often is not available on commonly known references like caniuse.com.
