Revision Content

{{obsolete_header}}

The DocumentTraversal interface was defining methods allowing to access from one {{domxref("Node")}} to another one in the document tree.

It proves useless as very few type of {{domxref("Node")}} were able to implement all its methods and properties. It has been split into two interfaces, {{domxref("ChildNode")}} and {{domxref("ParentNode")}} containing the useful methods and properties for each kind of nodes.

As it was a pure interface, with no object of this type, this change has no effect on the Web.
