Titanium.XML.Node
A single node in the Document tree.
Implements the DOM Level 2 API on Android and iOS.
Note that on iOS, only Element nodes are mutable. This means that the methods appendChild, insertBefore, removeChild, and replaceChild only work on Element objects. If one of these methods is called on another type of node, it throws an exception.
Extends: Titanium.Proxy · Since: 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 9.2.0 · Platforms: android, iphone, ipad, macos
Properties #
apiName#
Type: String
The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.
The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Button
returns Ti.UI.Button.
attributes#
Type: Titanium.XML.NamedNodeMap
A map of this node's attributes.
As defined by the DOM specification, only Element nodes have attributes.
For all other node types, this property is always null.
bubbleParent#
Type: Boolean
Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.
Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often
established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a
click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are
table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views
to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.
lifecycleContainer#
Type: Titanium.UI.Window, Titanium.UI.TabGroup
The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.
If this property is set to a Window or TabGroup, then the corresponding Activity lifecycle event callbacks
will also be called on the proxy. Proxies that require the activity lifecycle will need this property set
to the appropriate containing Window or TabGroup.
localName#
Type: String
Local part of the qualified name of this node.
The local part of the qualified name that comes after the colon. That is,
the name without the namespace prefix.
nodeName#
Type: String
Name of this node.
Certain node types have constant values defined by the DOM specification:
- Text node:
#text - Comment node:
#comment - CDATA section node:
#cdata-section - Document node:
#document - Document fragment node:
#document-fragment
nodeType#
Type: Number
This node's type. One of ELEMENT_NODE, ATTRIBUTE_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE,
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE, ENTITY_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE,
DOCUMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE, NOTATION_NODE.
nodeValue#
Type: String
Content (value) of this node.
As defined in the DOM specification, the node value is always null for
Document, DocumentFragment, DocumentType, Element, Entity, EntityReference, and
Notation nodes.
ownerDocument#
Type: Titanium.XML.Document
This node's owning document.
Note that a node always has an owning document, even if it is not part of the
document tree.
For more on node ownership, see ownerDocument issues
in the W3C DOM FAQ.
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE#
Type: Number
Used with nodeType to identify a
ProcessingInstruction node.
Methods #
addEventListener #
Adds the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
name | String | Name of the event. | No |
callback | Callback<Titanium.Event> | Callback function to invoke when the event is fired. | No |
appendChild #
Appends the node newChild as a child of this node.
On iOS, appendChild is supported on Element
nodes only.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
newChild | Titanium.XML.Node | New node to append. | No |
Returns: Titanium.XML.Node — Newly-appended node.
applyProperties #
Applies the properties to the proxy.
Properties are supplied as a dictionary. Each key-value pair in the object is applied to the proxy such that
myproxy[key] = value.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
props | Dictionary | A dictionary of properties to apply. | No |
cloneNode #
Returns a duplicate of this node.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
deep | Boolean | Whether or not to perform a deep copy of this node. | No |
Returns: Titanium.XML.Node — Cloned node.
fireEvent #
Fires a synthesized event to any registered listeners.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
name | String | Name of the event. | No |
event | Dictionary | A dictionary of keys and values to add to the Titanium.Event object sent to the listeners. | Yes |
hasAttributes #
Returns true if this node has attributes.
Returns: Boolean — True if this node has attributes, false if it does not.
hasChildNodes #
Returns true if this node has child nodes.
Returns: Boolean — True if this node has children, false if it does not.
insertBefore #
Inserts the node newChild before the node refChild.
On iOS, insertBefore is supported on Element
nodes only.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
newChild | Titanium.XML.Node | Node to insert. | No |
refChild | Titanium.XML.Node | Node to insert newChild before. | No |
Returns: Titanium.XML.Node — The inserted node.
isSupported #
Tests whether the DOM implementation supports a specific feature.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
feature | String | Name of the feature. | No |
version | String | Version number of the feature. | No |
Returns: Boolean — True if the feature is supported, false if it is not.
normalize #
Normalizes text and attribute nodes in this node's child hierarchy.
removeChild #
Removes a child node from this node.
On iOS, removeChild is supported on Element
nodes only.
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
oldChild | Titanium.XML.Node | Node to remove. | No |
Returns: Titanium.XML.Node — Node that was removed.
removeEventListener #
Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.
Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the
callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.
When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function
in order to remove the listener later:
var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);
To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:
window.removeEventListener('click', listener);
| Name | Type | Summary | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
name | String | Name of the event. | No |
callback | Callback<Titanium.Event> | Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener. | No |
