NAME
XML::DOM::CharacterData - Common interface for Text, CDATASections and Comments
DESCRIPTION
XML::DOM::CharacterData extends XML::DOM::Node
The CharacterData interface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for
accessing character data in the DOM. For clarity this set is defined here rather
than on each object that uses these attributes and methods. No DOM objects corre-
spond directly to CharacterData, though Text, Comment and CDATASection do inherit
the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.
METHODS
getData and setData (data)
The character data of the node that implements this interface. The DOM imple-
mentation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored
in a CharacterData node. However, implementation limits may mean that the
entirety of a node’s data may not fit into a single DOMString. In such cases,
the user may call substringData to retrieve the data in appropriately sized
pieces.
getLength
The number of characters that are available through data and the substringData
method below. This may have the value zero, i.e., CharacterData nodes may be
empty.
substringData (offset, count)
Extracts a range of data from the node.
Parameters:
offset Start offset of substring to extract.
count The number of characters to extract.
Return Value: The specified substring. If the sum of offset and count exceeds
the length, then all characters to the end of the data are returned.
appendData (str)
Appends the string to the end of the character data of the node. Upon success,
data provides access to the concatenation of data and the DOMString specified.
insertData (offset, arg)
Inserts a string at the specified character offset.
Parameters:
offset The character offset at which to insert.
arg The DOMString to insert.
deleteData (offset, count)
Removes a range of characters from the node. Upon success, data and length
reflect the change. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all
characters from offset to the end of the data are deleted.
Parameters:
offset The offset from which to remove characters.
count The number of characters to delete.
replaceData (offset, count, arg)
Replaces the characters starting at the specified character offset with the
specified string.
Parameters:
offset The offset from which to start replacing.
count The number of characters to replace.
arg The DOMString with which the range must be replaced.
If the sum of offset and count exceeds length, then all characters to the end
of the data are replaced (i.e., the effect is the same as a remove method call
with the same range, followed by an append method invocation).
