Detailed Description

DOMNamedNodeMaps are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.

Note that DOMNamedNodeMap does not inherit from DOMNodeList; DOMNamedNodeMaps are not maintained in any particular order. Nodes contained in a DOMNamedNodeMap may also be accessed by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration of the contents, and does not imply that the DOM specifies an order to these Nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DOMNamedNodeMap::DOMNamedNodeMap ( )

protected

virtual DOMNamedNodeMap::~DOMNamedNodeMap ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual XMLSize_t DOMNamedNodeMap::getLength ( ) const

pure virtual

The number of nodes in the map.

The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::getNamedItem ( const XMLCh * name ) const

pure virtual

Retrieves a node specified by name.

Parameters

name	The `nodeName` of a node to retrieve.

Returns: A DOMNode (of any type) with the specified nodeName, or null if it does not identify any node in the map.

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::getNamedItemNS	(	const XMLCh *	namespaceURI,
		const XMLCh *	localName
	)		const

pure virtual

Retrieves a node specified by local name and namespace URI.

Parameters

namespaceURI	The namespace URI of the node to retrieve.
localName	The local name of the node to retrieve.

Returns: A DOMNode (of any type) with the specified local name and namespace URI, or null if they do not identify any node in the map.

Since: DOM Level 2

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::item ( XMLSize_t index ) const

pure virtual

Returns the indexth item in the map.

If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the map, this returns null.

Parameters

index Index into the map.

Returns: The node at the indexth position in the DOMNamedNodeMap, or null if that is not a valid index.

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::removeNamedItem ( const XMLCh * name )

pure virtual

Removes a node specified by name.

If the removed node is an DOMAttr with a default value it is immediately replaced.

Parameters

name	The `nodeName` of a node to remove.

Returns: The node removed from the map if a node with such a name exists.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if there is no node named name in the map.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this DOMNamedNodeMap is readonly.

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::removeNamedItemNS	(	const XMLCh *	namespaceURI,
		const XMLCh *	localName
	)

pure virtual

Removes a node specified by local name and namespace URI.

Parameters

namespaceURI	The namespace URI of the node to remove.
localName	The local name of the node to remove. When this `DOMNamedNodeMap` contains the attributes attached to an element, as returned by the attributes attribute of the `DOMNode` interface, if the removed attribute is known to have a default value, an attribute immediately appears containing the default value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix.

Returns: The node removed from the map if a node with such a local name and namespace URI exists.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if there is no node named name in the map.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this DOMNamedNodeMap is readonly.

Since: DOM Level 2

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::setNamedItem ( DOMNode * arg )

pure virtual

Adds a node using its nodeName attribute.

As the nodeName attribute is used to derive the name which the node must be stored under, multiple nodes of certain types (those that have a "special" string value) cannot be stored as the names would clash. This is seen as preferable to allowing nodes to be aliased.

Parameters

arg	A node to store in a named node map. The node will later be accessible using the value of the `nodeName` attribute of the node. If a node with that name is already present in the map, it is replaced by the new one.

Returns: If the new DOMNode replaces an existing node the replaced DOMNode is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Exceptions

DOMException WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if arg was created from a different document than the one that created the DOMNamedNodeMap.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this DOMNamedNodeMap is readonly.
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if arg is an DOMAttr that is already an attribute of another DOMElement object. The DOM user must explicitly clone DOMAttr nodes to re-use them in other elements.

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNode* DOMNamedNodeMap::setNamedItemNS ( DOMNode * arg )

pure virtual

Adds a node using its namespaceURI and localName.

Parameters

arg	A node to store in a named node map. The node will later be accessible using the value of the `namespaceURI` and `localName` attribute of the node. If a node with those namespace URI and local name is already present in the map, it is replaced by the new one.

Returns: If the new DOMNode replaces an existing node the replaced DOMNode is returned, otherwise null is returned.

Exceptions

DOMException WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if arg was created from a different document than the one that created the DOMNamedNodeMap.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this DOMNamedNodeMap is readonly.
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if arg is an DOMAttr that is already an attribute of another DOMElement object. The DOM user must explicitly clone DOMAttr nodes to re-use them in other elements.
