There are no parts of DOM APIs that are functional. It's all 90s-era Java OOP-style.

functional in the sense that it uses method calls on objects and javascript has higher order functions. It is a spectrum. I know DOM nodes are objects that use inheritance but I also know javascript is not deemed a "traditional" functional PL of course.
