This interface provides text manipulation methods that are used by several objects.
IXMLDOMCharacterData Methods
| appendData | Appends the supplied string to the existing string data. |
| data | Contains this node's data, which depends on the node type. |
| deleteData | Deletes the specified substring within the string data. |
| insertData | Inserts the supplied string at the specified offset. |
| length | Specifies the length, in characters, of the data. |
| replaceData | Replaces the specified number of characters with the supplied string. |
| substringData | Retrieves a substring of the full string from the specified range. |
Remarks
The IXMLDOMCharacterData object does not directly correspond to any node type. Its methods are reused by the IXMLDOMText, IXMLDOMComment, and IXMLDOMCDATASection objects. These methods handle large amounts of text, including sizes larger than can be manipulated natively using string constructs.
