Chapter 3 DynaScript Predefined Objects

DOMDocument object

Object

Represents an XML document.

Syntax

To use a DOMDocument's property:

DOMDocument.propertyName

To use a DOMDocument's method:

DOMDocument.MethodName( parameter ) 

Description

The DOMDocument object represents the root of the DOM document node tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.

You can create a DOMDocument object either by calling the toDOMDocument method, or by invoking the DOMDocument constructor.

• Calling toDOMDocument parses an existing XML document and returns a DOMDocument object representing the document contents.
• Invoking the DOMDocument constructor creates an empty DOMDocument object. The node object creation methods on the DOMDocument can then be called to create new node objects. The created DOMNode objects have an ownerDocument property which associates them with the DOMDocument within whose context they were created.

DOMDocument objects inherit all of the properties and methods of the DOMNode object as well as the properties and methods defined here.

Dynamo's current implementation of DOM follows the DOM Level 1 specification.

Example

This statement creates a new, empty DOMDocument object.

doc = new DOMDocument()
