Detailed Description

Objects implementing the NamedNodeMap interface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.

Note that NamedNodeMap does not inherit from NodeList ; NamedNodeMap s are not maintained in any particular order. Objects contained in an object implementing NamedNodeMap may also be accessed by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration of the contents of a NamedNodeMap , and does not imply that the DOM specifies an order to these Nodes.

Member Function Documentation

getNamedItem()

Node NamedNodeMap::getNamedItem

(

const DOMString &

name

)

const

Retrieves a node specified by name.

Parameters

name	Name of a node to retrieve.

Returns

A Node (of any type) with the specified name, or null if the specified name did not identify any node in the map.

Definition at line 66 of file dom_node.cpp.

getNamedItemNS()

Node NamedNodeMap::getNamedItemNS	(	const DOMString &	namespaceURI,
		const DOMString &	localName
	)		const

Introduced in DOM Level 2.

Retrieves a node specified by local name and namespace URI. HTML-only DOM implementations do not need to implement this method.

Parameters

namespaceURI	The namespace URI of the node to retrieve.
localName	The local name of the node to retrieve.

Returns

A Node (of any type) with the specified local name and namespace URI, or null if they do not identify any node in this map.

Definition at line 103 of file dom_node.cpp.

item()

Node NamedNodeMap::item

(

unsigned long

index

)

const

Returns the index th item in the map.

If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the map, this returns null .

Parameters

index

Index into the map.

Returns

The node at the index th position in the NamedNodeMap , or null if that is not a valid index.

Definition at line 97 of file dom_node.cpp.

length()

unsigned long NamedNodeMap::length

(

)

const

The number of nodes in the map.

The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

Definition at line 131 of file dom_node.cpp.

removeNamedItem()

Node NamedNodeMap::removeNamedItem

(

const DOMString &

name

)

Removes a node specified by name.

If the removed node is an Attr with a default value it is immediately replaced.

Parameters

name	The name of a node to remove.

Returns

The node removed from the map or null if no node with such a name exists.

Exceptions

DOMException

NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if there is no node named name in the map.

Definition at line 86 of file dom_node.cpp.

removeNamedItemNS()

Node NamedNodeMap::removeNamedItemNS	(	const DOMString &	namespaceURI,
		const DOMString &	localName
	)

Introduced in DOM Level 2.

Removes a node specified by local name and namespace URI. A removed attribute may be known to have a default value when this map contains the attributes attached to an element, as returned by the attributes attribute of the Node interface. If so, an attribute immediately appears containing the default value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix when applicable. HTML-only DOM implementations do not need to implement this method.

Parameters

namespaceURI	The namespace URI of the node to remove.
localName	The local name of the node to remove.

Returns

The node removed from this map if a node with such a local name and namespace URI exists.

Exceptions

DOMException

NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if there is no node with the specified namespaceURI and localName in this map.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this map is readonly.

Definition at line 120 of file dom_node.cpp.

setNamedItem()

Node NamedNodeMap::setNamedItem

(

const Node &

arg

)

Adds a node using its nodeName attribute.

As the nodeName attribute is used to derive the name which the node must be stored under, multiple nodes of certain types (those that have a "special" string value) cannot be stored as the names would clash. This is seen as preferable to allowing nodes to be aliased.

Parameters

arg	A node to store in a named node map. The node will later be accessible using the value of the nodeName attribute of the node. If a node with that name is already present in the map, it is replaced by the new one.

Returns

If the new Node replaces an existing node with the same name the previously existing Node is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Exceptions

DOMException

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if arg was created from a different document than the one that created the NamedNodeMap .

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this NamedNodeMap is readonly.

INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if arg is an Attr that is already an attribute of another Element object. The DOM user must explicitly clone Attr nodes to re-use them in other elements.

Definition at line 74 of file dom_node.cpp.

setNamedItemNS()

Node NamedNodeMap::setNamedItemNS

(

const Node &

arg

)

Introduced in DOM Level 2.

Adds a node using its namespaceURI and localName. If a node with that namespace URI and that local name is already present in this map, it is replaced by the new one. HTML-only DOM implementations do not need to implement this method.

Parameters

arg	A node to store in this map. The node will later be accessible using the value of its namespaceURI and localName attributes.

Returns

If the new Node replaces an existing node the replaced Node is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Exceptions

DOMException

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if arg was created from a different document than the one that created this map.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this map is readonly.

INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if arg is an Attr that is already an attribute of another Element object. The DOM user must explicitly clone Attr nodes to re-use them in other elements.
