AttrRef Interface

Table 15-2 summarizes the methods of available through AttrRef interface.

AttrRef

Class constructor.

AttrRef(
   const NodeRef< Node>& node_ref,
   Node* nptr);

AttrRef(
   const AttrRef< Node>& nref);

node_ref

nptr

(AttrRef) Node reference object

getName

Returns the fully-qualified name of an attribute (in the data encoding) as a NULL-terminated string.

 oratext* getName() const;

(oratext *) name of attribute

getOwnerElement

Returns attribute's owning element

Node* getOwnerElement();

(Node*) attribute's owning element node.

getSpecified

Returns the 'specified' value for an attribute. If the attribute was explicitly given a value in the original document, it is TRUE; otherwise, it is FALSE. If the node is not an attribute, returns FALSE. If the user sets attribute's value through DOM, its 'specified' value will be TRUE.

boolean getSpecified() const;

(boolean) attribute's "specified" value

getValue

Returns the "value" (character data) of an attribute (in the data encoding) as NULL-terminated string. Character and general entities will have been replaced.

oratext* getValue() const;

(oratext*) attribute's value

setValue

Sets the given attribute's value to data. The new value must be in the data encoding. It is not verified, converted, or checked. The attribute's 'specified' flag will be TRUE after setting a new value.

void setValue(
   oratext* data) 
throw (DOMException);

data

~AttrRef

This is the default destructor.

~AttrRef();
