Interface, a set of functions or methods used to access some

|
functionality.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-document-element'>document element</a></b></dt>
|

<dd>

There is only one document element in a <code>Document</code>. This

element node is a child of the <code>Document</code> node. See
|

<a class='normative' href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#dt-root'><em>Well-Formed XML

|
|
</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-document-order'>document order</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>There is an ordering, <i>document order</i>, defined on all
|
|
the nodes in the document corresponding to the order in which the first
|
|
character of the XML representation of each node occurs in the XML
|
|
representation of the document after expansion of general entities. Thus,
|
|
the <a href='glossary.html#dt-document-element'>document element</a> node
|
|
will be the first node. Element nodes occur before their children. Thus,
|
|
document order orders element nodes in order of the occurrence of their
|
|
start-tag in the XML (after expansion of entities). The attribute nodes
|
|
of an element occur after the element and before its children. The
|
|
relative order of attribute nodes is implementation-dependent.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-element'>element</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>Each document contains one or more elements, the
|
|
boundaries of which are either delimited by start-tags and
|
|
end-tags, or, for empty elements by an empty-element tag.
|
|
Each element has a type, identified by name, and may have a
|
|
set of attributes. Each attribute has a name and a value.
|
|
See <a class='normative' href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#sec-logical-struct'><em>Logical

<i>Logically-adjacent text nodes</i> are <code>Text</code>
|
|
or <code>CDATASection</code> nodes that can be visited
|
|
sequentially in <a href='glossary.html#dt-document-order'>document
|
|
order</a> or in reversed document order without entering,

exiting, or passing over <code>Element</code>,

document structure is reflected in the object.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-model'>model</a></b></dt>
|

<dd>A <i>model</i> is the actual data representation
|
|
for the information at hand. Examples are the structural

model and the style model representing the parse structure
|
|
and the style information associated with a document. The
|
|
model might be a tree, or a directed graph, or something
|
|
else.</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-namespaceprefix'>namespace prefix</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>A <i>namespace prefix</i> is a string that associates
|
|
an element or attribute name with a <i>namespace URI</i> in
|
|
XML. See namespace
|
|
prefix in Namespaces in XML [<cite><a class='noxref informative' href='references.html#Namespaces'>XML Namespaces</a></cite>].</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-namespaceURI'>namespace URI</a></b></dt>
|

<dd>
|
|
A <i>namespace URI</i> is a URI that identifies an XML
|
|
namespace. This is called the namespace name in
|
|
Namespaces in XML [<cite><a class='noxref informative' href='references.html#Namespaces'>XML Namespaces</a></cite>]. See also sections 1.3.2 "<a class='normative' href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#baseURIs-Considerations'><em>DOM
|
|
URIs</em></a>" and 1.3.3 "<a class='normative' href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Namespaces-Considerations'><em>XML
|
|
Namespaces</em></a>" regarding URIs and namespace URIs
|
|
handling and comparison in the DOM APIs.

</dd><dt><b><a name='dt-readonly-node'>read only node</a></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>A <i>read only node</i> is a node that is immutable. This
|
|
means its list of children, its content, and its attributes, when it
|
|
is an element, cannot be changed in any way. However, a read only node
|
|
can possibly be moved, when it is not itself contained in a read only
|
|
node.</dd></dl>
