Methods
| Method | Return type | Brief description |
detach() | Content | Detaches the node from its parent Element node. |
getData() | String | Gets the raw data for every instruction in the ProcessingInstruction node. |
getParentElement() | Element | Gets the node's parent Element node. |
getTarget() | String | Gets the target for the ProcessingInstruction node. |
getValue() | String | Gets the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node, in the order
they appear in the document. |
Detailed documentation
detach()
Detaches the node from its parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent,
this method has no effect.
Return
Content — the detached node
getData()
Gets the raw data for every instruction in the ProcessingInstruction node.
Return
String — the raw data for every instruction in the ProcessingInstruction node
getParentElement()
Gets the node's parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent, this method
returns null.
Return
Element — the parent Element node
getTarget()
Gets the target for the ProcessingInstruction node.
Return
String — the target for the ProcessingInstruction node
getValue()
Gets the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node, in the order
they appear in the document.
Return
String — the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node
