public Class DOM2DTMdefaultNamespaceDeclarationNode

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

a: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.

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.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.compareDocumentPosition.

Compares a node with this node with regard to their position in the document.

Parameters

other:Node

The node to compare against this node.

Returns:short

Returns how the given node is positioned relatively to this node.

Exceptions

DOMException:

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.compareDocumentPosition.

NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: when the compared nodes are from different DOM implementations that do not coordinate to return consistent implementation-specific results.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getAttributes.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getAttributes.

A NamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is an Element) or null otherwise.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getBaseURI.

The absolute base URI of this node or null if undefined. This value is computed according to . However, when the Document supports the feature "HTML" , the base URI is computed using first the value of the href attribute of the HTML BASE element if any, and the value of the documentURI attribute from the Document interface otherwise.
When the node is an Element, a Document or a a ProcessingInstruction, this attribute represents the properties [base URI] defined in . When the node is a Notation, an Entity, or an EntityReference, this attribute represents the properties [declaration base URI] in the . How will this be affected by resolution of relative namespace URIs issue?It's not.Should this only be on Document, Element, ProcessingInstruction, Entity, and Notation nodes, according to the infoset? If not, what is it equal to on other nodes? Null? An empty string? I think it should be the parent's.No.Should this be read-only and computed or and actual read-write attribute?Read-only and computed (F2F 19 Jun 2000 and teleconference 30 May 2001).If the base HTML element is not yet attached to a document, does the insert change the Document.baseURI? Yes. (F2F 26 Sep 2001)

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getChildNodes.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getChildNodes.

A NodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is a NodeList containing no nodes.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getFeature.

This method returns a specialized object which implements the specialized APIs of the specified feature and version. The specialized object may also be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods but is not necessarily expected to, as discussed in Mixed DOM implementations.

Parameters

feature:String

The name of the feature requested (case-insensitive).

version:String

This is the version number of the feature to test. If the version is null or the empty string, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return an object that supports at least one version of the feature.

Returns:Object

Returns an object which implements the specialized APIs of the specified feature and version, if any, or null if there is no object which implements interfaces associated with that feature. If the DOMObject returned by this method implements the Node interface, it must delegate to the primary core Node and not return results inconsistent with the primary core Node such as attributes, childNodes, etc.

DOM Level 3

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getFirstChild.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getFirstChild.

The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

Non-DOM method, part of the temporary kluge %REVIEW% This would be a pruning problem, but since it will always be added to the root element and we prune on elements, we shouldn't have to worry.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getLastChild.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getLastChild.

The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getLocalName.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getLocalName.

Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as Document.createElement(), this is always null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.getName.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.getName.

Returns the name of this attribute. If Node.localName is different from null, this attribute is a qualified name.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getNamespaceURI.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getNamespaceURI.

The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is unspecified (see ).
This is not a computed value that is the result of a namespace lookup based on an examination of the namespace declarations in scope. It is merely the namespace URI given at creation time.
For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as Document.createElement(), this is always null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getNextSibling.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getNextSibling.

The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeName.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeName.

The name of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeType.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeType.

A code representing the type of the underlying object, as defined above.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeValue.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getNodeValue.

The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getOwnerDocument.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getOwnerDocument.

The Document object associated with this node. This is also the Document object used to create new nodes. When this node is a Document or a DocumentType which is not used with any Document yet, this is null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.getOwnerElement.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.getOwnerElement.

The Element node this attribute is attached to or null if this attribute is not in use.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getParentNode.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getParentNode.

The parent of this node. All nodes, except Attr, Document, DocumentFragment, Entity, and Notation may have a parent. However, if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, this is null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getPrefix.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getPrefix.

The namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.
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.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getPreviousSibling.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.getPreviousSibling.

The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.getSchemaTypeInfo.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.getSchemaTypeInfo.

The type information associated with this attribute. While the type information contained in this attribute is guarantee to be correct after loading the document or invoking Document.normalizeDocument(), schemaTypeInfo may not be reliable if the node was moved.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.getSpecified.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.getSpecified.

True if this attribute was explicitly given a value in the instance document, false otherwise. If the application changed the value of this attribute node (even if it ends up having the same value as the default value) then it is set to true. The implementation may handle attributes with default values from other schemas similarly but applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to guarantee this information is up-to-date.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.getTextContent.

This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect. When set, any possible children this node may have are removed and replaced by a single Text node containing the string this attribute is set to. On getting, no serialization is performed, the returned string does not contain any markup. No whitespace normalization is performed, the returned string does not contain the element content whitespaces . Similarly, on setting, no parsing is performed either, the input string is taken as pure textual content.
The string returned is made of the text content of this node depending on its type, as defined below:

Exceptions

DOMException:

• NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
• DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.getValue.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.getValue.

On retrieval, the value of the attribute is returned as a string. Character and general entity references are replaced with their values. See also the method getAttribute on the Element interface.
On setting, this creates a Text node with the unparsed contents of the string, i.e. any characters that an XML processor would recognize as markup are instead treated as literal text. See also the method Element.setAttribute().
Some specialized implementations, such as some [SVG 1.1] implementations, may do normalization automatically, even after mutation; in such case, the value on retrieval may differ from the value on setting.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.hasAttributes.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.hasAttributes.

Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.

Returns:boolean

Returns:boolean

Returns true if this node has any children, false otherwise.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.insertBefore.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.insertBefore.

Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild. If refChild is null, insert newChild at the end of the list of children.

Implements org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo.isDerivedFrom.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.TypeInfo.isDerivedFrom.

This method returns if there is a derivation between the reference type definition, i.e. the TypeInfo on which the method is being called, and the other type definition, i.e. the one passed as parameters.

Parameters

ns:String

the namespace of the other type definition.

localName:String

the name of the other type definition.

derivationMethod:int

the type of derivation and conditions applied between two types, as described in the list of constants provided in this interface.

Returns:boolean

If the document's schema is a DTD or no schema is associated with the document, this method will always return false . If the document's schema is an XML Schema, the method will return true if the reference type definition is derived from the other type definition according to the derivation parameter. If the value of the parameter is 0 (no bit is set to 1 for the derivationMethod parameter), the method will return true if the other type definition can be reached by recursing any combination of {base type definition}, {item type definition}, or {member type definitions} from the reference type definition.

Implements 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 , baseURI. 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. This is true for Attr nodes as for any other type of node. 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 attribute, the specified attribute for Attr nodes, the isWhitespaceInElementContent attribute for Text nodes, as well as any user data or event listeners registered on the nodes.

Parameters

arg:Node

The node to compare equality with.

Returns:boolean

If the nodes, and possibly subtrees are equal, true otherwise false.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Attr.isId.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Attr.isId.

Returns whether this attribute is known to be of type ID (i.e. to contain an identifier for its owner element) or not. When it is and its value is unique, the ownerElement of this attribute can be retrieved using the method Document.getElementById . The implementation could use several ways to determine if an attribute node is known to contain an identifier:

• If validation occurred using an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] while loading the document or while invoking Document.normalizeDocument(), the post-schema-validation infoset contributions (PSVI contributions) values are used to determine if this attribute is a schema-determined ID attribute using the schema-determined ID definition in [XPointer] .
• If validation occurred using a DTD while loading the document or while invoking Document.normalizeDocument(), the infoset [type definition] value is used to determine if this attribute is a DTD-determined ID attribute using the DTD-determined ID definition in [XPointer] .
• from the use of the methods Element.setIdAttribute(), Element.setIdAttributeNS(), or Element.setIdAttributeNode(), i.e. it is an user-determined ID attribute;

  Note: XPointer framework (see section 3.2 in [XPointer] ) consider the DOM user-determined ID attribute as being part of the XPointer externally-determined ID definition.

• using mechanisms that are outside the scope of this specification, it is then an externally-determined ID attribute. This includes using schema languages different from XML schema and DTD.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.isSameNode.

Returns whether this node is the same node as the given one.
This method provides a way to determine whether two Node references returned by the implementation reference the same object. When two Node references are references to the same object, even if through a proxy, the references may be used completely interchangably, such that all attributes have the same values and calling the same DOM method on either reference always has exactly the same effect.

Parameters

other:Node

The node to test against.

Returns:boolean

Returns true if the nodes are the same, false otherwise.

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.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.removeChild.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.removeChild.

Removes the child node indicated by oldChild from the list of children, and returns it.

Parameters

a:Node

Returns:Node

The node removed.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.replaceChild.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.replaceChild.

Replaces the child node oldChild with newChild in the list of children, and returns the oldChild node.
If newChild is a DocumentFragment object, oldChild is replaced by all of the DocumentFragment children, which are inserted in the same order. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters

a:Node

Returns:Node

The node replaced.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.setNodeValue.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.setNodeValue.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.setPrefix.

Doc from org.w3c.dom.Node.setPrefix.

The namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.
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.

Implements org.w3c.dom.Node.setTextContent.

This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect. When set, any possible children this node may have are removed and replaced by a single Text node containing the string this attribute is set to. On getting, no serialization is performed, the returned string does not contain any markup. No whitespace normalization is performed, the returned string does not contain the element content whitespaces . Similarly, on setting, no parsing is performed either, the input string is taken as pure textual content.
