DOMCharacterData properties

In addition to the properties it inherits from the DOMNode interface, the DOMCharacterData interface supports two properties, data and length.

data 
Access  Read/write 
Type  String 
Description  The character data of the node that implements this interface. Assignment is not implemented; see the second example below for a workaround. 
Usage 
JScript 
vbl = DOMCharacterData_object.data;
DOMCharacterData_object.data = strText;
 
VBScript 
vbl = DOMCharacterData_object.data
DOMCharacterData_object.data = strText
 
Example 
// SoftQuad Script Language JSCRIPT:
var text = ActiveDocument.documentElement.firstChild;
// Using CharacterData interface through Text object
Application.Alert(text.data);
// SoftQuad Script Language JSCRIPT:
// Assume DOMCharacterData object is
// in variable "cdnode".
// Substitute for 'cdnode.data="String";' 
Selection.SelectNodeContents(cdnode);
Selection.Text = "String";
 

length 
Access  Read-only 
Type  Long 
Description  The number of characters available through the data property and the substringData method. 
Usage 
JScript  DOMCharacterData_object.length;  
VBScript  DOMCharacterData_object.length 
Example 
// SoftQuad Script Language JSCRIPT:
var text = ActiveDocument.documentElement.firstChild;
Application.alert(text.length);
