public class TextImpl
extends CharacterDataImpl
implements CharacterData, Text

Text nodes hold the non-markup, non-Entity content of an Element or Attribute.

When a document is first made available to the DOM, there is only one Text object for each block of adjacent plain-text. Users (ie, applications) may create multiple adjacent Texts during editing -- see Element#normalize for discussion.

Note that CDATASection is a subclass of Text. This is conceptually valid, since they're really just two different ways of quoting characters when they're written out as part of an XML stream.

Constructor Detail

TextImpl

public TextImpl(CoreDocumentImpl ownerDoc,
                java.lang.String data)
Factory constructor.
Method Detail

getNodeType

public short getNodeType()
A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
Overrides:
getNodeType in class NodeImpl

getNodeName

public java.lang.String getNodeName()
Returns the node name.
Overrides:
getNodeName in class NodeImpl

setIgnorableWhitespace

public void setIgnorableWhitespace(boolean ignore)
NON-DOM: Set whether this Text is ignorable whitespace.

isIgnorableWhitespace

public boolean isIgnorableWhitespace()
NON-DOM: Returns whether this Text is ignorable whitespace.

splitText

public Text splitText(int offset)
               throws DOMException
Break a text node into two sibling nodes. (Note that if the current node has no parent, they won't wind up as "siblings" -- they'll both be orphans.)
Specified by:
splitText in interface Text
Parameters:
offset - The offset at which to split. If offset is at the end of the available data, the second node will be empty.
Throws:
DOMException(INDEX_SIZE_ERR) - if offset is <0 or >length.
DOMException(NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR) - if node is read-only.
