IDOMCDATASection Interface

CDATA sections are used to "quote" or "escape" blocks of text so that text is not interpreted as markup.

IDOMCDATASection Methods

This interface has no unique methods of its own, but exposes the inherited methods from the IDOMText interface.

Remarks

CDATA sections let you include material such as XML fragments within XML documents, without needing to escape all the delimiters. The only delimiter recognized in a CDATA section is the ]]> string that ends the CDATA section.

CDATA sections cannot be nested.

The text contained by the CDATA section is stored in a text node. Note that this text can contain characters that need to be escaped outside of CDATA sections.

Although the CDATA section object inherits the DOMText object, note that unlike text nodes, the IDOMElement object's normalize method does not merge CDATASection nodes.
