js.html.CharacterData - API Reference

The CharacterData abstract interface represents a Node object that contains characters. This is an abstract interface, meaning there aren't any object of type CharacterData: it is implemented by other interfaces, like Text, Comment, or ProcessingInstruction which aren't abstract.

Variables

`data:String`

Defined by Node

`read onlybaseURI:String`

Returns a DOMString representing the base URL. The concept of base URL changes from one language to another; in HTML, it corresponds to the protocol, the domain name and the directory structure, that is all until the last '/'.

`read onlychildNodes:NodeList`

Returns a live NodeList containing all the children of this node. NodeList being live means that if the children of the Node change, the NodeList object is automatically updated.

`read onlyfirstChild:Node`

Returns a Node representing the first direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

`read onlylastChild:Node`

Returns a Node representing the last direct child node of the node, or null if the node has no child.

`read onlylocalName:String`

Returns a DOMString representing the local part of the qualified name of an element.

Note: In Firefox 3.5 and earlier, the property upper-cases the local name for HTML elements (but not XHTML elements). In later versions, this does not happen, so the property is in lower case for both HTML and XHTML. 1.9.2

`read onlynamespaceURI:String`

The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is no namespace.

Note: In Firefox 3.5 and earlier, HTML elements are in no namespace. In later versions, HTML elements are in the https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/ namespace in both HTML and XML trees. 1.9.2

`read onlynextSibling:Node`

Returns a Node representing the next node in the tree, or null if there isn't such node.

`read onlynodeName:String`

Returns a DOMString containing the name of the Node. The structure of the name will differ with the name type. E.g. An HTMLElement will contain the name of the corresponding tag, like 'audio' for an HTMLAudioElement, a Text node will have the '#text' string, or a Document node will have the '#document' string.

`read onlynodeType:Int`

Returns an unsigned short representing the type of the node. Possible values are:

Name Value

`ELEMENT_NODE`	`1`
`ATTRIBUTE_NODE` (deprecated)	`2`
`TEXT_NODE`	`3`
`CDATA_SECTION_NODE` (deprecated)	`4`
`ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE` (deprecated)	`5`
`ENTITY_NODE` (deprecated)	`6`
`PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE`	`7`
`COMMENT_NODE`	`8`
`DOCUMENT_NODE`	`9`
`DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE`	`10`
`DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE`	`11`
`NOTATION_NODE` (deprecated)	`12`

`nodeValue:String`

Returns / Sets the value of the current node

`read onlyownerDocument:HTMLDocument`

Returns the Document that this node belongs to. If no document is associated with it, returns null.

`read onlyparentElement:Element`

Returns an Element that is the parent of this node. If the node has no parent, or if that parent is not an Element, this property returns null.

`read onlyparentNode:Node`

Returns a Node that is the parent of this node. If there is no such node, like if this node is the top of the tree or if doesn't participate in a tree, this property returns null.

`read onlyprefix:String`

Is a DOMString representing the namespace prefix of the node, or null if no prefix is specified.

`read onlypreviousSibling:Node`

Returns a Node representing the previous node in the tree, or null if there isn't such node.

`textContent:String`

Returns / Sets the textual content of an element and all its descendants.
