Question

Are there other types of node objects in the DOM tree that I should be familiar with (besides the element and text types)?

Answer

Not particularly. Web developers should be familiar with the Element and Text type nodes as these will be the types we work with most often. However there are other types of nodes including Attribute, Document, and DocumentType, among others. A quick web search will provide more info about these node types to those who are interested!
