My confusion between the DOM methods and Javascript methods

Hi everyone --

I'm pretty confused.

If I turn off Javascript in my FF, it /seems/ that many DOM methods
still work great. Is that the way it should work? Can I count on DOM
methods always being implemented, given a "modern" browser, no matter
the state of Javascript enabled/disabled?

Or is it that turning off Javascript is supposed to turn off DOM
methods, too?

Thanks!

Um.

If Javascript is disabled, how are you calling DOM/host methods?
VBScript?

As far as what host methods are available, check out these two resources:
