This interface inherits from IXMLDOMNode.
Properties
| attributes | Contains the list of attributes for this node. Read-only. |
| baseName* | Returns the base name for the name qualified with the namespace. Read-only. |
| childNodes | Contains a node list containing the children nodes. Read-only. |
| dataType* | Specifies the data type for this node. Read/write. |
| definition* | Returns the definition of the node in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. |
| firstChild | Contains the first child of the node. Read-only. |
| lastChild | Returns the last child node. Read-only. |
| namespaceURI* | Returns the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the namespace. Read-only. |
| nextSibling | Contains the next sibling of this node in the parent's child list. Read-only. |
| nodeName | Contains the qualified name of the element, attribute, or entity reference, or a fixed string for other node types. Read-only. |
| nodeType | Specifies the XML Document Object Model (DOM) node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes. Read-only. |
| nodeTypeString* | Returns the node type in string form. Read-only. |
| nodeValue | Contains the text associated with the node. Read/write. |
| ownerDocument | Returns the root of the document that contains the node. Read-only. |
| parentNode | Contains the parent node. Read-only. |
| parsed* | Indicates the parsed status of the node and child nodes. Read-only. |
| prefix* | Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only. |
| previousSibling | Contains the previous sibling of the node in the parent's child list. Read-only. |
| specified* | Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. Read-only. |
| tagName | Contains the element name. Read-only. |
| text* | Represents the text content of the node or the concatenated text representing the node and its descendants. Read/write. |
| xml* | Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only. |
* Denotes an extension to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM.
Methods
| appendChild | Appends a new child as the last child of this node. |
| cloneNode | Clones a new node. |
| getAttribute | Gets the value of the attribute. |
| getAttributeNode | Gets the attribute node. |
| getElementsByTagName | Returns a list of all descendant elements that match the supplied name. |
| hasChildNodes | Provides a fast way to determine whether a node has children. |
| insertBefore | Inserts a child node to the left of the specified node or at the end of the list. |
| normalize | Normalizes all descendant elements by combining two or more adjacent text nodes into one unified text node. |
| removeAttribute | Removes or replaces the named attribute. |
| removeAttributeNode | Removes the specified attribute from this element. |
| removeChild | Removes the specified child node from the list of children and returns it. |
| replaceChild | Replaces the specified old child node with the supplied new child node. |
| selectNodes* | Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the list of matching nodes as IXMLDOMNodeList. |
| selectSingleNode* | Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the first matching node. |
| setAttribute | Sets the value of the named attribute. |
| setAttributeNode | Sets or updates the supplied attribute node on this element. |
| transformNode* | Processes this node and its children using the supplied XSL Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation. |
| transformNodeToObject* | Processes this node and its children using the supplied (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation in the supplied object. |
* Denotes an extension to the W3C DOM.
