Document.Body

Contents

Document.Body

The document.body element is a reference to the body object, which represents a <body> element, or null if the element does not exist.

The body property sets or returns the document’s body.

On return, this property returns the <body> element of the current document.

On set, this property overwrites all child elements inside the existing <body> element, and replaces it with the new, specified content.

Tip: The difference between the document.body and the document.documentElement property, is that the document.body element returns the <body> element, while the document.documentElement returns the <html> element.

[Exposed=Window]
interface DocumentType : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString name;
    readonly attribute DOMString publicId;

};

DOMException

The DOMException interface is described in section 1.2. of DOM 1:

exception DOMException {
    unsigned short code;
};

// ExceptionCode
const unsigned short INDEX_SIZE_ERR              = 1;

const unsigned short NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR           = 9;
const unsigned short INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR         = 10;

DOMImplementation

(section 4.5.1 in DOM 4)

[Exposed=Window]
interface DOMImplementation {
    [NewObject] DocumentType createDocumentType(DOMString qualifiedName,
                                                DOMString publicId,

    [NewObject] XMLDocument createDocument     (DOMString? namespace,
                                                [TreatNullAs=EmptyString] DOMString qualifiedName,
                                                optional DocumentType? doctype = null);
    [NewObject] Document createHTMLDocument    (optional DOMString title);

    boolean hasFeature                         (); // useless; always returns true
};

User agents must create a DOMImplementation object whenever a document is created and associate it with that document.

DOMString

A DOMString is a sequence of 16-bit quantities.

The DOMString interface is described in section 1.1.5 of DOM 1:

typedef sequence<unsigned short> DOMString;

The DOMString interface is described in section 3.10.15 of WebIDL 1:

Need to add the definition of a DOMString in WebIDL 1.

Applications must encode DOMString using UTF-16 (defined in Appendix C.3 of [UNICODE] and Amendment 1 of [ISO-10646]).The UTF-16 encoding was chosen because of its widespread industry practice. Please note that for both HTML and XML, the document character set (and therefore the notation of numeric character references) is based on UCS-4. A single numeric character reference in a source document may therefore in some cases correspond to two array positions in a DOMString (a high surrogate and a low surrogate). Note: Even though the DOM defines the name of the string type to be DOMString, bindings may used different names. For, example for Java, DOMString is bound to the String type because it also uses UTF-16 as its encoding.

DOM 1 As of August 1998, the OMG IDL specification included a wstring type. However, that definition did not meet the interoperability criteria of the DOM API since it relied on encoding negotiation to decide the width of a character.

The DOMString interface is described in section 3.10.15 of WebIDL 1:

The DOMString type corresponds to the set of all possible sequences of code units. Such sequences are commonly interpreted as UTF-16 encoded strings [RFC2781] although this is not required. While DOMString is defined to be an OMG IDL boxed sequence valuetype in DOM Level 3 Core ([DOM3CORE], section 1.2.1), this document defines DOMString to be an intrinsic type so as to avoid special casing that sequence type in various situations where a string is required.

WebIDL 1 Note also that null is not a value of type DOMString. To allow null, a nullable DOMString, written as DOMString? in IDL, needs to be used.

Nothing in this specification requires a DOMString value to be a valid UTF-16 string. For example, a DOMString value might include unmatched surrogate pair characters. However, authors of specifications using Web IDL might want to obtain a sequence of Unicode scalar values given a particular sequence of code units. The following algorithm defines a way to convert a DOMString to a sequence of Unicode scalar values:

Let S be the DOMString value.
Let n be the length of S.
Initialize i to 0.
Initialize U to be an empty sequence of Unicode characters.
While i < n:
1. Let c be the code unit in S at index i.
2. Depending on the value of c:
  c < 0xD800 or c > 0xDFFF
  Append to U the Unicode character with code point c.
  0xDC00 ≤ c ≤ 0xDFFF
  Append to U a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
  0xD800 ≤ c ≤ 0xDBFF
  1. If i = n−1, then append to U a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
  2. Otherwise, i < n−1:
    1. Let d be the code unit in S at index i+1.
    2. If 0xDC00 ≤ d ≤ 0xDFFF, then:
      1. Let a be c & 0x3FF.
      2. Let b be d & 0x3FF.
      3. Append to U the Unicode character with code point 216+210a+b.
      4. Set i to i+1.
    3. Otherwise, d < 0xDC00 or d > 0xDFFF. Append to U a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
3. Set i to i+1.
Return U.

There is no way to represent a constant DOMString value in IDL, although DOMString dictionary member and operation optional argument default values can be specified using a string literal.

The type name of the DOMString type is “String”.

DOMTimeStamp

The DOMTimeStamp interface is described in section 5.3 of WebIDL 1:

typedef unsigned long long DOMTimeStamp;

The DOMTimeStamp type is used for representing a number of milliseconds, either as an absolute time (relative to some epoch) or as a relative amount of time. Specifications that use this type will need to define how the number of milliseconds is to be interpreted.

DOMTokenList

Element

The Element interface is described in section ___ of DOM 1:

interface Element : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString tagName;

    DOMString getAttribute        (in DOMString name);
    void      setAttribute        (in DOMString name, 
                                   in DOMString value)
                                       raises(DOMException);
    void      removeAttribute     (in DOMString name)
                                       raises(DOMException);
    Attr      getAttributeNode    (in DOMString name);
    Attr      setAttributeNode    (in Attr newAttr)
                                       raises(DOMException);
    Attr      removeAttributeNode (in Attr oldAttr)
                                       raises(DOMException);
    NodeList  getElementsByTagName(in DOMString name);
    void      normalize();
};

The Element interface is described in section 4.8 of DOM 4:

[Exposed=Window]
interface Element : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString namespaceURI;
    readonly attribute DOMString prefix;
    readonly attribute DOMString localName;
    readonly attribute DOMString tagName;
             attribute DOMString id;
             attribute DOMString className;
    [SameObject] readonly attribute DOMTokenList classList;
    [SameObject] readonly attribute NamedNodeMap attributes;

    DOMString      getAttribute          (DOMString name);
    DOMString      getAttributeNS        (DOMString namespace,
                                          DOMString localName);
    void           setAttribute          (DOMString name,
                                          DOMString value);
    void           setAttributeNS        (DOMString namespace,
                                          DOMString name,
                                          DOMString value);
    void           removeAttribute       (DOMString name);
    void           removeAttributeNS     (DOMString namespace,
                                          DOMString localName);
    boolean        hasAttribute          (DOMString name);
    boolean        hasAttributeNS        (DOMString namespace,
                                          DOMString localName);

    HTMLCollection getElementsByTagName  (DOMString localName);
    HTMLCollection getElementsByTagNameNS(DOMString namespace,
                                          DOMString localName);
    HTMLCollection getElementsByClassName(DOMString classNames);
};

Event

EventHandler

(6.1.5.1 Event Handlers in HTML 5)

[TreatNonCallableAsNull]
callback EventHandlerNonNull = any (Event event);
typedef EventHandlerNonNull? EventHandler;

In JavaScript, any Function object implements this interface.

For example, the following document fragment:

…leads to an alert saying “[object Window]” when the document is loaded, and an alert saying “[object HTMLBodyElement]” whenever the user clicks something in the page.

The return value of the function affects whether the event is canceled or not: as described above, if the return value is false, the event is canceled (except for mouseover events, where the return value has to be true to cancel the event). With beforeunload events, the value is instead used to determine the message to show the user.

EventListener

callback interface EventListener {
    void handleEvent(Event event);
};

EventTarget

[Exposed=(Window,Worker)]

interface Attr : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString name;
    readonly attribute boolean   specified;
             attribute DOMString value;

The Attr interface is modified in section ___ of DOM 2:

interface Attr : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString name;

    // Introduced in DOM Level 2:
    readonly attribute Element   ownerElement;
};

The Attr interface is modified in section ___ of DOM 3:

interface Attr : Node {
    readonly attribute DOMString name;
    readonly attribute boolean   specified;

[Exposed=Window]
interface Attr {
    readonly attribute DOMString? namespaceURI;
    readonly attribute DOMString? prefix;
    readonly attribute DOMString localName;
    readonly attribute DOMString name;
             attribute DOMString value;

    readonly attribute boolean specified; // useless; always returns true
};

As of DOM 4 Attr no longer inherits from Node and therefore completely changed.
