Extensions on HTMLDocument
HTML5 extends some HTMLDocument interfaces on DOM Level 2 HTML. These interfaces are implemented on all element objects that implement the Document interface. HTML5 has also added several new members:
getElementsByClassName(): Use the class class to obtain elements. This method can be used to query any elements and Document objects that have class attributes and have parameter values that match the class. (Example: SVG and MathML).
innerHTML: A way to parse and serialize HTML/XML documents. This attribute only supported HTMLElement in previous versions of browsers and was not standardized. Now it supports HTMLDocument.
activeElement and hasFocus: Declare which element is the current focus element and whether the Document has its own focus.
Extensions on HTMLElement
In HTML5, some extensions are also added to the HTMLElement interface:
getElementsByClassName(): It is equivalent to the extension of the same name in HTMLDocument. Only the scope is different.
innerHTML: Currently supported by most browsers (including XML content).
classList: is the accessor of className. This object provides (contains(), add(), remove(), and toggle()) methods to operate the class of the element. The elements a, area and link also have a similar attribute accessor relList that provides the same functionality to operate the rel attribute.
