Interface Summary Interface Description Attr TheAttrinterface represents an attribute in anElementobject.CDATASection CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup.CharacterData TheCharacterDatainterface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.Comment This interface inherits fromCharacterDataand represents the content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '<!--' and ending '-->'.Document TheDocumentinterface represents the entire HTML or XML document.DocumentFragment DocumentFragmentis a "lightweight" or "minimal"Documentobject.DocumentType EachDocumenthas adoctypeattribute whose value is eithernullor aDocumentTypeobject.DOMConfiguration TheDOMConfigurationinterface represents the configuration of a document and maintains a table of recognized parameters.DOMError DOMErroris an interface that describes an error.DOMErrorHandler DOMErrorHandleris a callback interface that the DOM implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating a document).DOMImplementation TheDOMImplementationinterface provides a number of methods for performing operations that are independent of any particular instance of the document object model.DOMImplementationList TheDOMImplementationListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of DOM implementations, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.DOMImplementationSource This interface permits a DOM implementer to supply one or more implementations, based upon requested features and versions, as specified in DOM Features.DOMLocator DOMLocatoris an interface that describes a location (e.g.DOMStringList TheDOMStringListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection ofDOMStringvalues, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.Element TheElementinterface represents an element in an HTML or XML document.ElementTraversal TheElementTraversalinterface is a set of read-only attributes which allow an author to easily navigate between elements in a document.Entity This interface represents a known entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an XML document.EntityReference EntityReferencenodes may be used to represent an entity reference in the tree.NamedNodeMap Objects implementing theNamedNodeMapinterface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.NameList TheNameListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of parallel pairs of name and namespace values (which could be null values), without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.Node TheNodeinterface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.NodeList TheNodeListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.Notation This interface represents a notation declared in the DTD.ProcessingInstruction TheProcessingInstructioninterface represents a "processing instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.Text TheTextinterface inherits fromCharacterDataand represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of anElementorAttr.TypeInfo TheTypeInfointerface represents a type referenced fromElementorAttrnodes, specified in the schemas associated with the document.UserDataHandler When associating an object to a key on a node usingNode.setUserData()the application can provide a handler that gets called when the node the object is associated to is being cloned, imported, or renamed. -
Exception Summary Exception Description DOMException DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable).
