The GdomeCharacterData interface extends GdomeNode with a set of 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 correspond directly to GdomeCharacterData, though GdomeText and
others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start
from 0.
As explained in the GdomeDOMString interface, text strings in Gdome2 are
represented in UTF-8. In the following, the term 16-bit units is used whenever
necessary to indicate that indexing on GdomeCharacterData is done in 16-bit
units.
Append the string to the end of the character data of the node. Upon
success, data provides access to the concatenation of data and the
string specified.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Insert a string at the specified 16-bit unit offset.
GDOME_INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is greater than the
number of 16-bit units in data.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Remove a range of 16-bit units from the node. If the sum of offset and
count exceeds length then all 16-bit units from offset to the end of the
data are deleted. Upon success, data and length reflect the change.
GDOME_INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is greater than the
number of 16-bit units in data.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Replace the characters starting at the specified 16-bit unit offset with
the specified string. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length, then
all 16-bit units to the end of the data are replaced;
GDOME_INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is greater than the
number of 16-bit units in data.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
the parent of this node. All nodes, except Attr,
Document, DocumentFragment, Entity, and Notation may have a parent. However,
if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has
been removed from the tree, this is NULL.
a NodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no
children, this is a NodeList containing no nodes. Note that attributes are
not considered to be children of element nodes - use gdome_n_attributes to
obtain the attributes.
the documment object associated with this node. This is also the
Document object used to create new nodes. When this node is a Document or a
DocumentType which is not used with any Document yet, this is NULL.
Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild. If
refChild is NULL, insert newChild at the end of the list of children.
If newChild is a DocumentFragment node, all of its children are inserted,
in the same order, before refChild. If the newChild is already in the
tree, it is first removed.
GDOME_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not
allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to insert is
one of this node's ancestors or this node itself.
GDOME_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different
document than the one that created this node.
GDOME_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if refChild is not a child of this node.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
self :
Node Object ref
newChild :
The new node to put in the child list
refChild :
the reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node
must be inserted.
Replaces the child node oldChild with newChild in the list of children,
and returns the oldChild node. If newChild is a DocumentFragment object,
oldChild is replaced by all of the DocumentFragment children, which are
inserted in the same order. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is
first removed.
GDOME_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does
not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to put
in is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself.
GDOME_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different
document than the one that created this node.
GDOME_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if oldChild is not a child of this node.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node.
If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. If it is a
DocumentFragment node, the entire contents of the document fragment are
moved into the child list of this node
GDOME_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not
allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to append is
one of this node's ancestors or this node itself.
GDOME_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different
document than the one that created this node.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Makes a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy
constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent; (parentNode is
NULL).
GDOME_DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, GDOME_NOTATION_NODE and GDOME_ENTITY_NODE
nodes are not supported.
GDOME_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being cloned is not
supported.
self :
Node Object ref
deep :
If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node;
if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is
an Element).
Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node,
including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g.,
elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity
references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text
nodes nor empty Text nodes.
Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that
feature is supported by this node.
self :
Node Object ref
feature :
The name of the feature to test.
version :
This is the version number of the feature to test. In Level 2,
version 1, this is the string "2.0". If the version is not
specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the
method to return TRUE.
exc :
Exception Object ref
Returns :
TRUE if the specified feature is supported on this node, FALSE
otherwise.
the namespace URI of this node, or NULL if it is unspecified.
For nodes of any type other than GDOME_ELEMENT_NODE and
GDOME_ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, this is
always NULL.
the namespace prefix of this node, or NULL if it is unspecified.
For nodes of any type other than GDOME_ELEMENT_NODE and
GDOME_ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, this is
always NULL.
GDOME_NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
GDOME_NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix is malformed per the
Namespaces in XML specification, if the namespaceURI of this node is NULL,
different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an

the local part of the qualified name of this node.
For nodes of any type other than GDOME_ELEMENT_NODE and
GDOME_ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, this is
always NULL.
This method allows the registration of event listeners on the event target.
If an EventListener is added to an EventTarget while it is processing an
event, it will not be triggered by the current actions but may be triggered
during a later stage of event flow, such as the bubbling phase.
If multiple identical EventListeners are registered on the same EventTarget
with the same parameters the duplicate instances are discarded. They do not
cause the EventListener to be called twice and since they are discarded
they do not need to be removed with the removeEventListener method.
self :
Node Object ref
type :
the event type for which the user is registering
listener :
the listener parameter takes an interface implemented by the
user which contains the methods to be called when the event occurs.
useCapture :
if TRUE, useCapture indicates that the user wishes to initiate
capture. After initiating capture, all events of the specified
type will be dispatched to the registered EventListener before
being dispatched to any EventTargets beneath them in the tree.
Events which are bubbling upward through the tree will not
trigger an EventListener designated to use capture.
This method allows the removal of event listeners from the event target. If
an EventListener is removed from an EventTarget while it is processing an
event, it will not be triggered by the current actions. EventListeners can
never be invoked after being removed. Calling removeEventListener with
arguments which do not identify any currently registered EventListener on
the EventTarget has no effect.
self :
Node Object ref
type :
Specifies the event type of the EventListener being removed.
listener :
The EventListener parameter indicates the EventListener to be
removed.
useCapture :
Specifies whether the EventListener being removed was
registered as a capturing listener or not. If a listener was
registered twice, one with capture and one without, each must
be removed separately. Removal of a capturing listener does
not affect a non-capturing version of the same listener, and
vice versa.
This method allows the dispatch of events into the implementations event
model. Events dispatched in this manner will have the same capturing and
bubbling behavior as events dispatched directly by the implementation. The
target of the event is the EventTarget on which dispatchEvent is called.
GDOME_UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR: Raised if the Event's type was not
specified by initializing the event before dispatchEvent was called.
Specification of the Event's type as NULL or an empty string will also
trigger this exception.
self :
Node Object ref
evt :
Specifies the event type, behavior, and contextual information to be
used in processing the event.
exc :
Exception Object ref
Returns :
if preventDefault was called the value is FALSE, else the value
is TRUE.
This method allows the dispatch of events into the implementations event
model. Events dispatched in this manner will have the same capturing and
bubbling behavior as events dispatched directly by the implementation. The
target of the event is any nodes in the subtree of the EventTarget on which
dispatchEvent is called.
GDOME_UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR: Raised if the Event's type was not
specified by initializing the event before dispatchEvent was called.
Specification of the Event's type as NULL or an empty string will also
trigger this exception.
