I know XML and still know next to nothing about the HTML DOM.

XML DOM is a nice well-behaved thing, simple to understand and
well-documented by a standard (and you get XPath too). HTML DOMs are a
rats' nest of vendor-specific weirdness.

If you want to learn DOM, then I'd suggest an AJAX introduction. At
least you'll learn a modern vendor-independent way of doing things.
