These are different from "load" as they fire before the loading of related files (e.g., images). However, DOMContentLoaded has been added to the HTML 5 specification. [13] The DOMContentLoaded event was also implemented in the Webkit rendering engine build 500+. [14] [15] This correlates to all versions of Google Chrome and Safari 3.1+.
When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page, which is an object oriented representation of an HTML document that acts as an interface between JavaScript and the document itself. This allows the creation of dynamic web pages, [13] because within a page JavaScript can:
Function declarations, which declare a variable and assign a function to it, are similar to variable statements, but in addition to hoisting the declaration, they also hoist the assignment – as if the entire statement appeared at the top of the containing function – and thus forward reference is also possible: the location of a function ...

Web storage, formerly known as DOM storage (Document Object Model storage), is a standard JavaScript API provided by web browsers. It enables websites to store persistent data on users' devices similar to cookies , but with much larger capacity [ 1 ] and no information sent in HTTP headers . [ 2 ]
This is useful to resume an interrupted download (when a file is very large), when only a part of a content has to be shown or dynamically added to the already visible part by a browser (i.e. only the first or the following n comments of a web page) in order to spare time, bandwidth and system resources, etc.

The difference between the HTML and DOM viewer, and the view source feature in web browsers is that the HTML and DOM viewer allows you to see the DOM as it was rendered in addition to allowing you to make changes to the HTML and DOM and see the change reflected in the page after the change is made.
A JavaScript library is a library of pre-written JavaScript code that allows for easier development of JavaScript-based applications, [1] especially for AJAX and other web-centric technologies. [2] They can be included in a website by embedding it directly in the HTML via a script tag.
