A Node is an interface from which a number of DOM types inherit, and allows these various types to be treated (or tested) similarly.

Variables

read only baseURI: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 only childNodes: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 only firstChild:Node

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

read only lastChild:Node

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

read only localName: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 only namespaceURI: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 only nextSibling:Node

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

read only nodeName: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 only nodeType: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 only ownerDocument:HTMLDocument

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

read only parentElement: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 only parentNode: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 only prefix:String

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

read only previousSibling: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.

Methods

appendChild (node:Node):Node

Throws:

null	DOMError

@:value({ deep : false }) cloneNode (deep:Bool = false):Node
