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:
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:
HTMLDocument interface,
derived from the core Document interface. HTMLDocument
specifies the operations and queries that can be made on a HTML
document.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.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
// Introduced in DOM Level 2: interface HTMLDOMImplementation : DOMImplementation { HTMLDocument createHTMLDocument(in DOMString title); };

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.

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

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.

The following methods may be deprecated at some point in the future in favor of a more general-purpose mechanism.

DOMStringHTML 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.
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.
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.
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:
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].
