The DOMNode interface

DOMNode is the basic interface of the DOM model. It is a generic interface that most other DOM interfaces inherit (that is, they inherit its properties and methods). In effect, these other interfaces are DOMNodes with different values for the nodeType property.

DOMNode provides the basic properties and methods (firstChild, lastChild, nextSibling, parentNode, previousSibling, and hasChildNodes) for navigating the node structure that the DOM uses to represent documents. DOMNode also provides methods for manipulating the structure; these are currently not implemented in HoTMetaL PRO. Instead, Selection or Range interface methods must be used.
