The Document Object Model (DOM) is a language and platform independent programming interface that allows documents and their parts to be accessed and manipulated dynamically.

The DOM Level 3 Events specification expands upon the functionality specified in the DOM Level 2 Event specification by defining additional event interfaces. The KeyEvent interface is described for key events such as keyup, keydown and keypress, and new interfaces are added for EventListener grouping. This allows groups of EventListeners to be registered which will each have independent event flow within them, unaffected by changes to event flow in any other group (which might be used to control events independently in multiple views on a document, for example).
