IDOMCharacterData Interface

This interface provides text manipulation methods that are used by several objects.

IDOMCharacterData Methods

appendData	Appends the supplied string to the existing string data.
data	Contains this node's data, which depends on the node type.
deleteData	Deletes the specified substring within the string data.
insertData	Inserts the supplied string at the specified offset.
length	Specifies the length, in characters, of the data.
replace	Replaces the specified number of characters with the supplied string.
substring	Retrieves a substring of the full string from the specified range.

Remarks

The IDOMCharacterData object does not directly correspond to any node type. Its methods are reused by the IDOMText, IDOMComment, and IDOMCDATASection objects. These methods handle large amounts of text, including industrial-strength sizes larger than can be manipulated natively using string constructs.
