Well, you would have to look at the JS code that this translates to. Manipulating the DOM is the low-level way to interact with the browser, but often that is hidden in layers of framework code.

If you get your framework done, its users also would not have to worry about how exactly this interacts with the browser. Typically only the framework developers are dealing with this layer. Of course you can choose to layer your stuff on top of another framework. Saves quite some time and effort, but may be less efficient.
