NonDocumentTypeChildNode

Our volunteers haven't translated this article into Română yet. Join us and help get the job done!

The NonDocumentTypeChildNode interface contains methods that are particular to Node objects that can have a parent, but not suitable for DocumentType.

NonDocumentTypeChildNode is a raw interface and no object of this type can be created; it is implemented by Element, and CharacterData objects.

Properties

There is no inherited property.

NonDocumentTypeChildNode.previousElementSibling Read only
Returns the Element immediately prior to this node in its parent's children list, or null if there is no Element in the list prior to this node.
NonDocumentTypeChildNode.nextElementSibling Read only
Returns the Element immediately following this node in its parent's children list, or null if there is no Element in the list following this node.

Methods

There is neither inherited, nor specific method.
