What is DOM element?

Document object model.
The DOM is the way Javascript sees its containing pages’ data. It is an object that includes how the HTML/XHTML/XML is formatted, as well as the browser state.

A DOM element is something like a DIV, HTML, BODY element on a page. You can add classes to all of these using CSS, or interact with them using JS.
