Method Detail

adoptNode back to summary

adoptNode	back to summary
public Node adoptNode(Node source) throws DOMException Attempts to adopt a node from another document to this document. If supported, it changes the `ownerDocument` of the source node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any. If the source node has a parent it is first removed from the child list of its parent. This effectively allows moving a subtree from one document to another (unlike `importNode()` which create a copy of the source node instead of moving it). When it fails, applications should use `Document.importNode()` instead. Note that if the adopted node is already part of this document (i.e. the source and target document are the same), this method still has the effect of removing the source node from the child list of its parent, if any. The following list describes the specifics for each type of node. ATTRIBUTE_NODE The `ownerElement` attribute is set to `null` and the `specified` flag is set to `true` on the adopted `Attr`. The descendants of the source `Attr` are recursively adopted. DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE The descendants of the source node are recursively adopted. DOCUMENT_NODE `Document` nodes cannot be adopted. DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE `DocumentType` nodes cannot be adopted. ELEMENT_NODE Specified attribute nodes of the source element are adopted. Default attributes are discarded, though if the document being adopted into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. The descendants of the source element are recursively adopted. ENTITY_NODE `Entity` nodes cannot be adopted. ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE Only the `EntityReference` node itself is adopted, the descendants are discarded, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned. NOTATION_NODE `Notation` nodes cannot be adopted. PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE These nodes can all be adopted. No specifics. Note Since it does not create new nodes unlike the `Document.importNode()` method, this method does not raise an `INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR` exception, and applications should use the `Document.normalizeDocument()` method to check if an imported name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use. Parameters source:Node The node to move into this document. Returns:Node The adopted node, or `null` if this operation fails, such as when the source node comes from a different implementation. Exceptions DOMException: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the source node is of type `DOCUMENT`, `DOCUMENT_TYPE`. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the source node is readonly. Since 1.5, DOM Level 3

public Node adoptNode(Node source) throws DOMException

Attempts to adopt a node from another document to this document. If supported, it changes the ownerDocument of the source node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any. If the source node has a parent it is first removed from the child list of its parent. This effectively allows moving a subtree from one document to another (unlike importNode() which create a copy of the source node instead of moving it). When it fails, applications should use Document.importNode() instead. Note that if the adopted node is already part of this document (i.e. the source and target document are the same), this method still has the effect of removing the source node from the child list of its parent, if any. The following list describes the specifics for each type of node.

ATTRIBUTE_NODE: The ownerElement attribute is set to null and the specified flag is set to true on the adopted Attr. The descendants of the source Attr are recursively adopted.
DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE: The descendants of the source node are recursively adopted.
DOCUMENT_NODE: Document nodes cannot be adopted.
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE: DocumentType nodes cannot be adopted.
ELEMENT_NODE: Specified attribute nodes of the source element are adopted. Default attributes are discarded, though if the document being adopted into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. The descendants of the source element are recursively adopted.
ENTITY_NODE: Entity nodes cannot be adopted.
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE: Only the EntityReference node itself is adopted, the descendants are discarded, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned.
NOTATION_NODE: Notation nodes cannot be adopted.
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE: These nodes can all be adopted. No specifics.

Note

Since it does not create new nodes unlike the Document.importNode() method, this method does not raise an INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR exception, and applications should use the Document.normalizeDocument() method to check if an imported name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use.

Parameters

source:Node: The node to move into this document.

Returns:Node

The adopted node, or null if this operation fails, such as when the source node comes from a different implementation.

Exceptions

DOMException:: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the source node is of type DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_TYPE.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the source node is readonly.

getDoctype back to summary

getDoctype	back to summary
public DocumentType getDoctype() The Document Type Declaration (see `DocumentType`) associated with this document. For XML documents without a document type declaration this returns `null`. For HTML documents, a `DocumentType` object may be returned, independently of the presence or absence of document type declaration in the HTML document. This provides direct access to the `DocumentType` node, child node of this `Document`. This node can be set at document creation time and later changed through the use of child nodes manipulation methods, such as `Node.insertBefore`, or `Node.replaceChild`. Note, however, that while some implementations may instantiate different types of `Document` objects supporting additional features than the "Core", such as "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML] , based on the `DocumentType` specified at creation time, changing it afterwards is very unlikely to result in a change of the features supported. Since 1.4, DOM Level 3

When possible this simply changes the name of the given node, otherwise this creates a new node with the specified name and replaces the existing node with the new node as described below. If simply changing the name of the given node is not possible, the following operations are performed: a new node is created, any registered event listener is registered on the new node, any user data attached to the old node is removed from that node, the old node is removed from its parent if it has one, the children are moved to the new node, if the renamed node is an `Element` its attributes are moved to the new node, the new node is inserted at the position the old node used to have in its parent's child nodes list if it has one, the user data that was attached to the old node is attached to the new node. When the node being renamed is an `Element` only the specified attributes are moved, default attributes originated from the DTD are updated according to the new element name. In addition, the implementation may update default attributes from other schemas. Applications should use `Document.normalizeDocument()` to guarantee these attributes are up-to-date.
