Predefined Constants

DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED: Set when the other node and reference node are not in the same tree.
DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING: Set when the other node precedes the reference node.
DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING: Set when the other node follows the reference node.
DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINS: Set when the other node is an ancestor of the reference node.
DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINED_BY: Set when the other node is a descendant of the reference node.
DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC: Set when the result depends on implementation-specific behaviour and may not be portable. This may happen with disconnected nodes or with attribute nodes.

Properties

nodeType

Gets the type of the node. One of the predefined XML_*_NODE constants

nodeName

Returns the most accurate name for the current node type.

For elements, this is the HTML-uppercased qualified name.
For attributes, this is the qualified name.
For processing instructions, this is the target.
For document type nodes, this is the name.

baseURI

The absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI.

isConnected

Whether the node is connected to a document

ownerDocument

The Dom\Document object associated with this node, or null if this node is a document.

parentNode

The parent of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

parentElement

The parent element of this element. If there is no such element, this returns null.

childNodes

A Dom\NodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is an empty Dom\NodeList.

firstChild

The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

lastChild

The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

previousSibling

The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

nextSibling

The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.

nodeValue

The value of this node, depending on its type.

textContent

The text content of this node and its descendants.

Notes

Note: The DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding when working with methods or properties. The parser methods auto-detect the encoding or allow the caller to specify an encoding.
