Property |
Description |
---|---|
Contains the list of attributes for this node. Read-only. |
|
Returns the base name for the name qualified with the namespace. Read-only. |
|
Contains a node list containing the children (for nodes that can have children). Read-only. |
|

Contains the first child of this node. Read-only. |
|
Returns the last child node. Read-only. |
|
Returns the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the namespace. Read-only. |
|
Contains the next sibling of this node in the parent's child list. Read-only. |
|
Contains the qualified name of the element, attribute, or entity reference, or a fixed string for other node types. Read-only. |
|
Specifies the XML Document Object Model (DOM) node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes. Read-only. |
|
Contains this node's value, expressed in its defined data type. Read/write. |
|
Returns the node type in string form. Read-only. |
|
Contains the text associated with the node. Read/write. |
|
Returns the root of the document that contains this node. Read-only. |
|
Contains the parent node (for nodes that can have parents). Read-only. |
|
Contains True if this node and all descendants have been parsed and instantiated; False if any nodes remain to be parsed. Read-only. |
|
Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only. |
|
Contains the left sibling of this node. Read-only. |
|
Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the DTD or schema. Read-only. |
|
text* |
Contains the text content of the node and its subtrees. Read/write. |
xml* |
Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only. |
* denotes an extension to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM.
Events
None.
Remarks
If the XML parser expands entity references while building the structure model, no EntityReference objects appear in the tree.
XML does not require non-validating processors to handle external entity declarations, such as those made in the external subset or declared in external parameter entities. This means that parsed entities declared in the external subset need not be expanded, and therefore the replacement value of the entity might not be available. If available, the replacement value of the referenced entity appears in the child list of EntityReference.
The resolution of the children of the EntityReference, the replacement value of the referenced entity, can be evaluated. Actions such as calling the childNodes property are assumed to trigger the evaluation. Character entities are expanded by the XML parser and do not appear as entity references, but instead appear within the character text in Unicode.
IXMLDOMEntityReference has no unique properties or methods of its own, but exposes the same objects and properties as the IXMLDOMNode object.
