This specification defines the Document Object Model Level 2 HTML, a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content and structure of HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 documents. The Document Object Model Level 2 HTML builds on the Document Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core].

The DOM Level 2 HTML is made of a set of specific interfaces to manipulate the structure and contents of an HTML document.

1.1. Introduction

This section extends the DOM Level 2 Core API [DOM Level 2 Core] to describe objects and methods specific to HTML documents [HTML4.0], and XHTML documents [XHTML 1.0]. In general, the functionality needed to manipulate hierarchical document structures, elements, and attributes will be found in the core section; functionality that depends on the specific elements defined in HTML will be found in this section.

The goals of the HTML-specific DOM API are:

to specialize and add functionality that relates specifically to HTML documents and elements.
to address issues of backwards compatibility with the DOM Level 0.
to provide convenience mechanisms, where appropriate, for common and frequent operations on HTML documents.

The key differences between the core DOM and the HTML application of DOM is that the HTML Document Object Model exposes a number of convenience methods and properties that are consistent with the existing models and are more appropriate to script writers. In many cases, these enhancements are not applicable to a general DOM because they rely on the presence of a predefined DTD. The transitional or frameset DTD for HTML 4.0, or the XHTML 1.0 DTD are assumed. Interoperability between implementations is only guaranteed for elements and attributes that are specified in the HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 DTDs.

More specifically, this document includes the following specializations for HTML:

An HTMLDocument interface, derived from the core Document interface. HTMLDocument specifies the operations and queries that can be made on a HTML document.
An HTMLElement interface, derived from the core Element interface. HTMLElement specifies the operations and queries that can be made on any HTML element. Methods on HTMLElement include those that allow for the retrieval and modification of attributes that apply to all HTML elements.
Specializations for all HTML elements that have attributes that extend beyond those specified in the HTMLElement interface. For all such attributes, the derived interface for the element contains explicit methods for setting and getting the values.

The DOM Level 2 includes mechanisms to access and modify style specified through CSS and defines an event model that can be used with HTML documents.

The interfaces found within this section are not mandatory. A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "HTML" and "2.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported by the implementation. In addition to the feature string "HTML", the feature string "XHTML" (version string "2.0") can be used to check if the implementation supports XHTML (this is equivalent to checking the features "XML" and "HTML"). In order to fully support this module, an implementation must also support the "Core" feature defined [DOM Level 2 Core]. Please refer to additional information about conformance in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core].

A DOM application can use the hasFeature method of the DOMImplementation interface to determine whether they are supported or not. The feature string for all the interfaces listed in this section is "HTML" and the version is "2.0". Note that, since DOM Level 2 HTML is not backward compatible with DOM Level 1 [DOM Level 1], a DOM Level 2 HTML implementation must not claim to implement the feature "HTML" version "1.0". In order to fully support this feature, an implementation needs also to support the "Core" feature defined in the Document Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core] (see also Conformance).

The interfaces in this specification are designed for HTML 4.0 documents, as well as for XHTML 1.0 documents.

1.2. HTML Application of Core DOM

1.2.1. Naming Conventions

The HTML DOM follows a naming convention for properties, methods, events, collections, and data types. All names are defined as one or more English words concatenated together to form a single string.

1.2.1.1. Properties and Methods

The property or method name starts with the initial keyword in lowercase, and each subsequent word starts with a capital letter. For example, a property that returns document meta information such as the date the file was created might be named "fileDateCreated". In the ECMAScript binding, properties are exposed as properties of a given object. In Java, properties are exposed with get and set methods.

1.2.1.2. Non-HTML 4.0 interfaces and attributes

While most of the interfaces defined below can be mapped directly to elements defined in the HTML 4.0 Recommendation, some of them cannot. Similarly, not all attributes listed below have counterparts in the HTML 4.0 specification (and some do, but have been renamed to avoid conflicts with scripting languages). Interfaces and attribute definitions that have links to the HTML 4.0 specification have corresponding element and attribute definitions there; all others are added by this specification, either for convenience or backwards compatibility with DOM Level 0 implementations.

1.3. XHTML and the HTML DOM

The DOM HTML Level 1 API's [DOM Level 1] were originally intended to be used only for HTML 4.0 documents [HTML4.0] and the APIs were defined well before XHTML 1.0 [XHTML 1.0] became a specification, or was even being worked on by the HTML working group. The biggest difference between HTML 4.0 (and earlier) and XHTML 1.0 (from the DOM point of view) is that XHTML is case sensitive, whereas HTML 4.0 is case insensitive. The HTML case insensitivity is also reflected in the DOM HTML API's in some ways, for instance, element and attribute names are exposed as all upper case (for consistency) when used on an HTML document, regardless of the character case used in the markup. In XHTML everything is case sensitive (since XHTML is based on XML) and element and attribute names must be lower case in the markup. Because of this there are certain things that developers need to keep in mind when writing code that should work on both HTML and XHTML documents. There are basically two things that need to be taken into account, one is that when comparing element or attribute names to strings the string compare needs to be case insensitive, or the element or attribute name needs to be converted into lowercase before comparing against a lowercase string. The other thing is that when calling methods that are case insensitive when used on a HTML document (such as getElementsByTagName() and namedItem()) the string that is passed in should be lower case to work on both HTML and XHTML documents.

1.4. Miscellaneous Object Definitions

Interface HTMLDOMImplementation (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The HTMLDOMImplementation interface extends the DOMImplementation interface with a method for creating an HTML document instance. The core DOMImplementation interface can be used to create XHTML documents by passing the XHTML namespace as the namespace for the root element.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface HTMLDOMImplementation : DOMImplementation {
  HTMLDocument       createHTMLDocument(in DOMString title);
};

Methods

createHTMLDocument

Creates an HTMLDocument object with the minimal tree made of the following elements: HTML, HEAD, TITLE, and BODY.

Parameters

title of type DOMString: The title of the document to be set as the content of the TITLE element, through a child Text node.

Return Value

HTMLDocument

A new HTMLDocument object.

No Exceptions

Interface HTMLCollection

An HTMLCollection is a list of nodes. An individual node may be accessed by either ordinal index or the node's name or id attributes.

Note: Collections in the HTML DOM are assumed to be live meaning that they are automatically updated when the underlying document is changed.

IDL Definition

interface HTMLCollection {
  readonly attribute unsigned long   length;
  Node               item(in unsigned long index);
  Node               namedItem(in DOMString name);
};

Attributes

length of type unsigned long, readonly: This attribute specifies the length or size of the list.

Methods

item

This method retrieves a node specified by ordinal index. Nodes are numbered in tree order (depth-first traversal order).

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: The index of the node to be fetched. The index origin is 0.

Return Value

Node

The Node at the corresponding position upon success. A value of null is returned if the index is out of range.

No Exceptions

namedItem

This method retrieves a Node using a name. It first searches for a Node with a matching id attribute. If it doesn't find one, it then searches for a Node with a matching name attribute, but only on those elements that are allowed a name attribute. This method is case insensitive in HTML documents and case sensitive in XHTML documents.

Parameters

name of type DOMString: The name of the Node to be fetched.

Return Value

Node

The Node with a name or id attribute whose value corresponds to the specified string. Upon failure (e.g., no node with this name exists), returns null.

No Exceptions

1.5. Objects related to HTML documents

Interface HTMLDocument

An HTMLDocument is the root of the HTML hierarchy and holds the entire content. Besides providing access to the hierarchy, it also provides some convenience methods for accessing certain sets of information from the document.

The following properties have been deprecated in favor of the corresponding ones for the BODY element:

alinkColor
background
bgColor
fgColor
linkColor
vlinkColor

Note: In DOM Level 2, the method getElementById is inherited from the Document interface where it was moved to.

IDL Definition

interface HTMLDocument : Document {
           attribute DOMString       title;
  readonly attribute DOMString       referrer;
  readonly attribute DOMString       domain;
  readonly attribute DOMString       URL;
           attribute HTMLElement     body;
  readonly attribute HTMLCollection  images;
  readonly attribute HTMLCollection  applets;
  readonly attribute HTMLCollection  links;
  readonly attribute HTMLCollection  forms;
  readonly attribute HTMLCollection  anchors;
           attribute DOMString       cookie;
                                        // raises(DOMException) on setting

  void               open();
  void               close();
  void               write(in DOMString text);
  void               writeln(in DOMString text);
  NodeList           getElementsByName(in DOMString elementName);
};

Attributes

URL of type DOMString, readonly

The absolute URI [RFC2396] of the document.

anchors of type HTMLCollection, readonly

A collection of all the anchor (A) elements in a document with a value for the name attribute.

Note: For reasons of backwards compatibility, the returned set of anchors only contains those anchors created with the name attribute, not those created with the id attribute.

applets of type HTMLCollection, readonly

A collection of all the OBJECT elements that include applets and APPLET (deprecated) elements in a document.

body of type HTMLElement

The element that contains the content for the document. In documents with BODY contents, returns the BODY element. In frameset documents, this returns the outermost FRAMESET element.

cookie of type DOMString

This mutable string attribute denotes persistent state information that (1) is associated with the current frame or document and (2) is composed of information described by the cookies non-terminal of [RFC2965], Section 4.2.2.
If no persistent state information is available for the current frame or document document, then this property's value is an empty string.
When this attribute is read, all cookies are returned as a single string, with each cookie's name-value pair concatenated into a list of name-value pairs, each list item being separated by a ';' (semicolon).
When this attribute is set, the value it is set to should be a string that adheres to the cookie non-terminal of [RFC2965]; that is, it should be a single name-value pair followed by zero or more cookie attribute values. If no domain attribute is specified, then the domain attribute for the new value defaults to the host portion of an absolute URI [RFC2396] of the current frame or document. If no path attribute is specified, then the path attribute for the new value defaults to the absolute path portion of the URI [RFC2396] of the current frame or document. If no max-age attribute is specified, then the max-age attribute for the new value defaults to a user agent defined value. If a cookie with the specified name is already associated with the current frame or document, then the new value as well as the new attributes replace the old value and attributes. If a max-age attribute of 0 is specified for the new value, then any existing cookies of the specified name are removed from the cookie storage.

Note: See [RFC2965] for the semantics of persistent state item attribute value pairs.

Note: The precise nature of a user agent session is not defined by this specification.

Exceptions on setting

DOMException

SYNTAX_ERR: If the new value does not adhere to the cookie syntax specified by [RFC2965].

domain of type DOMString, readonly

The domain name of the server that served the document, or null if the server cannot be identified by a domain name.

forms of type HTMLCollection, readonly

A collection of all the forms of a document.

images of type HTMLCollection, readonly

A collection of all the IMG elements in a document. The behavior is limited to IMG elements for backwards compatibility.

links of type HTMLCollection, readonly

A collection of all AREA elements and anchor (A) elements in a document with a value for the href attribute.

referrer of type DOMString, readonly

Returns the URI [RFC2396] of the page that linked to this page. The value is an empty string if the user navigated to the page directly (not through a link, but, for example, via a bookmark).

title of type DOMString

The title of a document as specified by the TITLE element in the head of the document.

Methods

close

Closes a document stream opened by open() and forces rendering.

No Parameters

No Return Value

No Exceptions

getElementsByName

Returns the (possibly empty) collection of elements whose name value is given by elementName. This method is case sensitive.

Parameters

elementName of type DOMString: The name attribute value for an element.

Return Value

NodeList

The matching elements.

No Exceptions

open

Open a document stream for writing. If a document exists in the target, this method clears it.

Note: This method and the ones following allow a user to add to or replace the structure model of a document using strings of unparsed HTML. At the time of writing alternate methods for providing similar functionality for both HTML and XML documents were being considered (see [DOM Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save]). The following methods may be deprecated at some point in the future in favor of a more general-purpose mechanism.

No Parameters

No Return Value

No Exceptions

write

Write a string of text to a document stream opened by open(). The text is parsed into the document's structure model.

Parameters

text of type DOMString: The string to be parsed into some structure in the document structure model.

No Return Value

No Exceptions

writeln

Write a string of text followed by a newline character to a document stream opened by open(). The text is parsed into the document's structure model.

Parameters

text of type DOMString: The string to be parsed into some structure in the document structure model.

No Return Value

No Exceptions

1.6. HTML Elements

1.6.1. Property Attributes

HTML attributes are exposed as properties on the element object. The DOM naming conventions always determine the name of the exposed property, and is independent of the case of the attribute in the source document. The data type of the property is in general determined by the type of the attribute as determined by the HTML 4.0 (transitional and frameset) and XHTML 1.0 DTDs. The attributes have the semantics (including case-sensitivity) given in the HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 specifications.

The attributes are exposed as properties for compatibility with DOM Level 0. This usage is deprecated because it can not be generalized to all possible attribute names, as is required both for XML and potentially for future versions of HTML. We recommend the use of generic methods on the core Element interface for setting, getting and removing attributes.

DTD Data Type	Object Model Data Type
CDATA	DOMString
Value list (e.g., (left \| right \| center))	DOMString
one-value Value list (e.g., (disabled))	boolean
Number	long int

In an HTML document the return value of an attribute that has a data type that is a value list is normalized to lower case (independent of the case of the value in the source document).

For example, if the value of the align attribute on a P element is "Left" (which is not a valid value in XHTML due to the case sensitivity of XHTML) then the value is returned as "left". For attributes with the CDATA data type, the case of the return value is that given in the source document.

The return value of an attribute that is unspecified and does not have a default value is the empty string if the return type is a DOMString, false if the return type is a boolean and 0 if the return type is a number.

1.6.2. Naming Exceptions

To avoid namespace conflicts, an attribute with the same name as a keyword in one of our chosen binding languages is prefixed. For HTML, the prefix used is "html". For example, the for attribute of the LABEL element collides with loop construct naming conventions and is renamed htmlFor.

1.6.3. Exposing Element Type Names (`tagName`, (`nodeName`))

If the document is a HTML 4.0 document the element type names exposed through a property are in uppercase. For example, the body element type name is exposed through the tagName property as BODY. If the document is an XHTML 1.0 or above document the element name is exposed as it is written in the XHTML file. This means that the element type names are exposed in lower case for XHTML documents since the XHTML 1.0 DTD defines element type names as lower case, and XHTML, being derived from XML, is case sensitive.

1.6.4. The HTMLElement interface

Interface HTMLElement

All HTML element interfaces derive from this class. Elements that only expose the HTML core attributes are represented by the base HTMLElement interface. These elements are as follows:

HEAD
special: SUB, SUP, SPAN, BDO
font: TT, I, B, U, S, STRIKE, BIG, SMALL
phrase: EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, CITE, ACRONYM, ABBR
list: DD, DT
NOFRAMES, NOSCRIPT
ADDRESS, CENTER

Note: The style attribute of an HTML element is accessible through the ElementCSSInlineStyle interface which is defined in the CSS module [DOM Level 2 Style Sheets and CSS].

IDL Definition

interface HTMLElement : Element {
           attribute DOMString       id;
           attribute DOMString       title;
           attribute DOMString       lang;
