Properties

async* Indicates whether asynchronous download is permitted. Read/write.
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 (for nodes that can have children). Read-only.
dataType* Specifies the data type for this node. Read/write.
definition* Returns the definition of the node in the DTD or schema. Read-only.
doctype Contains the document type node that specifies the DTD for this document. Read-only.
documentElement Contains the root element of the document. Read/write.
firstChild Contains the first child of this node. Read-only.
implementation Contains the XMLDOMImplementation object for this document. Read-only.
lastChild Returns the last child node. Read-only.
namespaceURI* Returns the 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 DOM node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes. Read-only.
nodeTypedValue* Contains this node's value expressed in its defined data type. Read/write.
nodeTypeString* Returns the node type in string form. Read-only.
nodeValue Contains the text associated with the node. Read/write.
ondataavailable* Specifies the event handler for the ondataavailable event. Read/write.
onreadystatechange* Specifies the event handler to be called when the readystate property changes. Read/write.
ontransformnode* Specifies the event handler for the ontransformnode event. Read/write.
ownerDocument Returns the root of the document that contains this node. Read-only.
parentNode Contains the parent node (for nodes that can have parents). Read-only.
parsed* Contains true if this node and all descendants have been parsed and instantiated, or false if any nodes remain to be parsed. Read-only.
parseError* Returns an XMLDOMParseError object that contains information about the last parsing error. Read-only.
prefix* Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only.
preserveWhiteSpace* Contains true if default processing preserves white space, or false otherwise. Read/write.
previousSibling Contains the left sibling of this node. Read-only.
readyState* Indicates the current state of the XML document. Read-only.
resolveExternals* Indicates whether external definitions (resolvable namespaces, DTD external subsets, and external entity references) are to be resolved at parse time, independent of validation. Read/write.
specified* Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the DTD or schema. Read-only.
text* Contains the text content of the node and its subtrees. Read/write.
url* Returns the canonicalized URL for the last loaded XML document. Read-only.
validateOnParse* Indicates whether the parser should validate this document. Read/write.
xml* Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only.

Methods

abort* Aborts an asynchronous download in progress.
appendChild Appends newChild as the last child of this node.
cloneNode Creates a new node that is an exact clone of this node.
createAttribute Creates a new attribute with the specified name.
createCDATASection Creates a CDATA section node that contains the supplied data.
createComment Creates a comment node that contains the supplied data.
createDocumentFragment Creates an empty document fragment object.
createElement Creates an element node using the specified name.
createEntityReference Creates a new entity reference object.
createNode* Creates a node using the supplied type, name, and namespace.
createProcessingInstruction Creates a ProcessingInstruction node that contains the supplied target and data.
createTextNode Creates a text node that contains the supplied data.
getElementsByTagName Returns a collection of elements that have the specified name.
hasChildNodes Returns true if this node has children.
insertBefore Inserts a child node to the left of the specified node or at the end of the list.
load* Loads an XML document from the specified location.
loadXML* Loads an XML document using the supplied string.
nodeFromID* Returns the node whose ID attribute matches the supplied value.
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 in the set of children of this node, and returns the old child node.
save* Saves an XML document to the specified location.
selectNodes* Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the list of matching nodes.
selectSingleNode* Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the first matching node.
transformNode* Processes this node and its children using the supplied XSL style sheet, and returns the resulting transformation.
transformNodeToObject* Processes this node and its children using the supplied XSL style sheet, and returns the resulting transformation in the supplied object.

Events

ondataavailable* Indicates that XML document data is available.
onreadystatechange* Indicates when the readyState property changes.
ontransformnode* Fires before each node in the style sheet is applied to each node in the XML source.

* denotes an extension to the W3C DOM.
