There's no valid implication that JavaScript is "not text based". Dom is nothing more than the representation of a text markup in an object form for easy manipulation by script. The very nature of HTML as a text markup language is not changed, blocked or hindered by a scripting language that changes the text and markup dynamically. A tool that cannot cater for an HTML document that changes dynamically is neither fully featured, nor modern.
