DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.

the set of nodes in a [DOMNodeList](classDOMNodeList.html "The DOMNodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes."), the document subtree governed by a particular [DOMNode](classDOMNode.html "The DOMNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model."), the results of a query, or any other set of nodes. The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by the implementation of the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g."). DOM Level 2 specifies a single [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") implementation for document-order traversal of a document subtree. Instances of these DOMNodeIterators are created by calling [DOMDocumentTraversal](classDOMDocumentTraversal.html "DOMDocumentTraversal contains methods that create DOMNodeIterators and DOMTreeWalkers to traverse a n...") .createNodeIterator().

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification.

DOMNodeIterator::DOMNodeIterator ( ) protected

DOMNodeIterator() [2/2]

~DOMNodeIterator()

virtual DOMNodeIterator::~DOMNodeIterator ( ) virtual

Destructor.

detach()

virtual void DOMNodeIterator::detach ( ) pure virtual

Detaches the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") in the INVALID state.

After detach has been invoked, calls to nextNode or previousNode will raise the exception INVALID_STATE_ERR.

DOM Level 2

getExpandEntityReferences()

virtual bool DOMNodeIterator::getExpandEntityReferences ( ) pure virtual

Return the expandEntityReferences flag.

The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g."). If false, these children and their descendants will be rejected. Note that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and the filter. Also note that this is currently the only situation where DOMNodeIterators may reject a complete subtree rather than skipping individual nodes.

To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g."). To produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to false.

getFilter()

virtual DOMNodeFilter * DOMNodeIterator::getFilter ( ) pure virtual

getRoot()

virtual DOMNode * DOMNodeIterator::getRoot ( ) pure virtual

The root node of the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g."), as specified when it was created.

DOM Level 2

getWhatToShow()

Return which node types are presented via the iterator.

This attribute determines which node types are presented via the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g."). The available set of constants is defined in the [DOMNodeFilter](classDOMNodeFilter.html "Filters are objects that know how to "filter out" nodes.") interface. Nodes not accepted by whatToShow will be skipped, but their children may still be considered. Note that this skip takes precedence over the filter, if any.

DOM Level 2

nextNode()

virtual DOMNode * DOMNodeIterator::nextNode ( ) pure virtual

Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") in the set.

After a [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") is created, the first call to [nextNode()](#ab2e598bb079319d22dcc83a4f431af6f "Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the DOMNodeIterator in the set.") returns the first node in the set.

Returns

The next [DOMNode](classDOMNode.html "The DOMNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.") in the set being iterated over, or null if there are no more members in that set.

Exceptions

DOMException INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.

Since

DOM Level 2

previousNode()

virtual DOMNode * DOMNodeIterator::previousNode ( ) pure virtual

Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the [DOMNodeIterator](classDOMNodeIterator.html "DOMNodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.") backwards in the set.

Returns

The previous [DOMNode](classDOMNode.html "The DOMNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.") in the set being iterated over, or null if there are no more members in that set.

Exceptions

DOMException INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.

Since

DOM Level 2

release()

virtual void DOMNodeIterator::release ( ) pure virtual

Called to indicate that this NodeIterator is no longer in use and that the implementation may relinquish any resources associated with it.

(release() will call detach() where appropriate)

Access to a released object will lead to unexpected result.
