Parameters newChild:Node The node to add.If it is a `DocumentFragment` object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node Returns:Node The node added. Exceptions DOMException: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the `newChild` node, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself, or if this node is of type `Document` and the DOM application attempts to append a second `DocumentType` or `Element` node. WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if `newChild` was created from a different document than the one that created this node. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly or if the previous parent of the node being inserted is readonly. NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: if the `newChild` node is a child of the `Document` node, this exception might be raised if the DOM implementation doesn't support the removal of the `DocumentType` child or `Element` child.

public Node appendChild(Node newChild) throws DOMException

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.appendChild.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.appendChild.

Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters

newChild:Node: The node to add.If it is a DocumentFragment object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node

Returns:Node

The node added.

Exceptions

DOMException:: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself, or if this node is of type Document and the DOM application attempts to append a second DocumentType or Element node.

cloneNode back to summary

cloneNode	back to summary
public Node cloneNode(boolean deep) Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.cloneNode. Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.cloneNode. Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent ( `parentNode` is `null`) and no user data. User data associated to the imported node is not carried over. However, if any `UserDataHandlers` has been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns. Cloning an `Element` copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any children it contains unless it is a deep clone. This includes text contained in an the `Element` since the text is contained in a child `Text` node. Cloning an `Attr` directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an `Element` cloning operation, returns a specified attribute (`specified` is `true`). Cloning an `Attr` always clones its children, since they represent its value, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning an `EntityReference` automatically constructs its subtree if a corresponding `Entity` is available, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node. Note that cloning an immutable subtree results in a mutable copy, but the children of an `EntityReference` clone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecified `Attr` nodes are specified. And, cloning `Document`, `DocumentType`, `Entity`, and `Notation` nodes is implementation dependent. Parameters deep:boolean If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`). Returns:Node The duplicate node.

public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

However, if any UserDataHandlers has been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.
Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any children it contains unless it is a deep clone. This includes text contained in an the Element since the text is contained in a child Text node. Cloning an Attr directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an Element cloning operation, returns a specified attribute (specified is true). Cloning an Attr always clones its children, since they represent its value, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning an EntityReference automatically constructs its subtree if a corresponding Entity is available, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.
Note that cloning an immutable subtree results in a mutable copy, but the children of an EntityReference clone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecified Attr nodes are specified. And, cloning Document, DocumentType, Entity, and Notation nodes is implementation dependent.

isEqualNode back to summary

isEqualNode	back to summary
public boolean isEqualNode(Node arg) Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.isEqualNode. Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.isEqualNode. Tests whether two nodes are equal. This method tests for equality of nodes, not sameness (i.e., whether the two nodes are references to the same object) which can be tested with `Node.isSameNode()`. All nodes that are the same will also be equal, though the reverse may not be true. Two nodes are equal if and only if the following conditions are satisfied: The two nodes are of the same type. The following string attributes are equal: `nodeName`, `localName`, `namespaceURI`, `prefix`, `nodeValue` . This is: they are both `null`, or they have the same length and are character for character identical. The `attributes` `NamedNodeMaps` are equal. This is: they are both `null`, or they have the same length and for each node that exists in one map there is a node that exists in the other map and is equal, although not necessarily at the same index. The `childNodes` `NodeLists` are equal. This is: they are both `null`, or they have the same length and contain equal nodes at the same index. Note that normalization can affect equality; to avoid this, nodes should be normalized before being compared. For two `DocumentType` nodes to be equal, the following conditions must also be satisfied: The following string attributes are equal: `publicId`, `systemId`, `internalSubset`. The `entities` `NamedNodeMaps` are equal. The `notations` `NamedNodeMaps` are equal. On the other hand, the following do not affect equality: the `ownerDocument`, `baseURI`, and `parentNode` attributes, the `specified` attribute for `Attr` nodes, the `schemaTypeInfo` attribute for `Attr` and `Element` nodes, the `Text.isElementContentWhitespace` attribute for `Text` nodes, as well as any user data or event listeners registered on the nodes. Note As a general rule, anything not mentioned in the description above is not significant in consideration of equality checking. Note that future versions of this specification may take into account more attributes and implementations conform to this specification are expected to be updated accordingly. Parameters arg:Node The node to compare equality with. Returns:boolean Returns `true` if the nodes are equal, `false` otherwise.

public boolean isEqualNode(Node arg)

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.isEqualNode.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.isEqualNode.

Tests whether two nodes are equal.
This method tests for equality of nodes, not sameness (i.e., whether the two nodes are references to the same object) which can be tested with Node.isSameNode(). All nodes that are the same will also be equal, though the reverse may not be true.
Two nodes are equal if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:

The two nodes are of the same type.
The following string attributes are equal: nodeName, localName, namespaceURI, prefix, nodeValue . This is: they are both null, or they have the same length and are character for character identical.
The attributes NamedNodeMaps are equal. This is: they are both null, or they have the same length and for each node that exists in one map there is a node that exists in the other map and is equal, although not necessarily at the same index.
The childNodes NodeLists are equal. This is: they are both null, or they have the same length and contain equal nodes at the same index. Note that normalization can affect equality; to avoid this, nodes should be normalized before being compared.

For two DocumentType nodes to be equal, the following conditions must also be satisfied:

The following string attributes are equal: publicId, systemId, internalSubset.
The entities NamedNodeMaps are equal.
The notations NamedNodeMaps are equal.

On the other hand, the following do not affect equality: the ownerDocument, baseURI, and parentNode attributes, the specified attribute for Attr nodes, the schemaTypeInfo attribute for Attr and Element nodes, the Text.isElementContentWhitespace attribute for Text nodes, as well as any user data or event listeners registered on the nodes.

Note

As a general rule, anything not mentioned in the description above is not significant in consideration of equality checking. Note that future versions of this specification may take into account more attributes and implementations conform to this specification are expected to be updated accordingly.

Parameters

arg:Node: The node to compare equality with.

Returns:boolean

Returns true if the nodes are equal, false otherwise.

normalize back to summary

normalize	back to summary
public void normalize() Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.normalize. Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.normalize. Puts all `Text` nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this `Node`, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates `Text` nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent `Text` nodes nor empty `Text` nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer [XPointer] lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used. If the parameter "normalize-characters" of the `DOMConfiguration` object attached to the `Node.ownerDocument` is `true`, this method will also fully normalize the characters of the `Text` nodes. Note In cases where the document contains `CDATASections`, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between `Text` nodes and `CDATASection` nodes.

Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the `nodeName` attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the `tagName` and `name` attributes of the `Element` and `Attr` interfaces, when applicable. Setting the prefix to `null` makes it unspecified, setting it to an empty string is implementation dependent. Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the `namespaceURI` and `localName` do not change. For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.
