How to Search the DOM

Be Specific

When you search the DOM be very specific. If you want to find all references to “” search for “dentist.” I If you need to find the plural “dentists” search for “dentists”. You can also search for multiple words at once such as “dental exam.” If you don’t find what you are looking for initially reword your search.

Open Additional Links in a New Window

All modern web browsers allow you to open additional URLs and PDF document links in a new window (usually by right clicking the URL). Use this powerful feature to ensure you can view multiple sections of the DOM open without losing your place or to cross-reference online documents with the DOM.
