Classes that make up DOM

Here is a list of all classes that make up DOM in alphabetical order with some basic usage examples:

• Attr Represents an attribute on an Element object.
• CharacterData Represents a Node object that contains characters.
• ChildNode (Trait) Contains methods that are particular to Node objects that can have a parent.
• Comment Represents textual notations within markup.
• Document Represents any web page loaded in the browser and serves as an entry point into the web page's content.
• DocumentFragment Represents a minimal document object that has no parent.
• DocumentType Represents a Node containing a doctype.
• Element The most general base class from which all objects in a Document inherit.
• HTMLCollection Represents a Node list that can only contain Element nodes.
• HTMLDocument Provides access to special properties and methods not present by default on a regular (XML) document.
• LiveProperty (Trait) Internal trait used to allow getting and setting of properties representing live data structures.
• Node A Node is an interface from which a number of DOM types inherit.
• NonDocumentTypeChildNode (Trait) Contains methods that are particular to Node objects that can have a parent but not suitable for DocumentType.
• ParentNode (Trait) Contains methods that are particular to Node objects that can have children.
• Text Represents the textual content of Element or Attr.
• TokenList Represents a set of space-separated tokens.
• XMLDocument Provides access to special properties and methods not present by default on a regular document.

This type represents a DOM element's attribute as an object. In most DOM methods, you will probably directly get or set an element's attribute as a string (e.g., Element.getAttribute().

Properties

• name (string) (Readonly) The attributes name.
• prefix (?string) (Readonly) The namespace prefix of the attribute, or null if no prefix is specified.
• ownerElement (Element) (Readonly) The element that the Attr is attached to.
