This interface inherits from IXMLDOMNode.

Properties

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 nodes. Read-only.
dataType* Specifies the data type for this node. Read/write.
definition* Returns the definition of the node in the document type definition (DTD) or schema.
firstChild Contains the first child of the node. Read-only.
lastChild Returns the last child node. Read-only.
namespaceURI* Returns the Uniform Resource Identifier (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 Document Object Model (DOM) node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes. Read-only.
nodeTypeString* Returns the node type in string form. Read-only.
nodeValue Contains the text associated with the node. Read/write.
ownerDocument Returns the root of the document that contains the node. Read-only.
parentNode Contains the parent node. Read-only.
parsed* Indicates the parsed status of the node and child nodes. Read-only.
prefix* Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only.
previousSibling Contains the previous sibling of the node in the parent's child list. Read-only.
specified* Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. Read-only.
tagName Contains the element name. Read-only.
text* Represents the text content of the node or the concatenated text representing the node and its descendants. Read/write.
xml* Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only.

* Denotes an extension to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM.

Methods

appendChild Appends a new child as the last child of this node.
cloneNode Clones a new node.
getAttribute Gets the value of the attribute.
getAttributeNode Gets the attribute node.
getElementsByTagName Returns a list of all descendant elements that match the supplied name.
hasChildNodes Provides a fast way to determine whether a node has children.
insertBefore Inserts a child node to the left of the specified node or at the end of the list.
normalize Normalizes all descendant elements by combining two or more adjacent text nodes into one unified text node.
removeAttribute Removes or replaces the named attribute.
removeAttributeNode Removes the specified attribute from this element.
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.
selectNodes* Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the list of matching nodes as IXMLDOMNodeList.
selectSingleNode* Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the first matching node.
setAttribute Sets the value of the named attribute.
setAttributeNode Sets or updates the supplied attribute node on this element.
transformNode* Processes this node and its children using the supplied XSL Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation.
transformNodeToObject* Processes this node and its children using the supplied (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation in the supplied object.

* Denotes an extension to the W3C DOM.

Events
