This corresponds to the DOM CharacterData interface.

Specification

The CharacterData interface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM. For clarity this set is defined here rather than on each object that uses these attributes and methods. No DOM objects correspond directly to CharacterData, though Text and others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.

As explained in the DOMString interface, text strings in the DOM are represented in UTF-16, i.e. as a sequence of 16-bit units. In the following, the term 16-bit units is used whenever necessary to indicate that indexing on CharacterData is done in 16-bit units.

Required methods

fn substring_data(&self, offset: usize, count: usize) -> Result<String>[src]

Extracts a range of data from the node.

Specification

Parameters

  • offset of type unsigned long: Start offset of substring to extract.
  • count of type unsigned long: The number of 16-bit units to extract.

Return Value

  • DOMString: The specified substring. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, then all 16-bit units to the end of the data are returned.

Exceptions

  • INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of 16-bit units in data, or if the specified count is negative.
  • DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified range of text does not fit into a DOMString.

fn append_data(&mut self, data: &str) -> Result<()>[src]

Append the string to the end of the character data of the node.

Specification

Upon success, data provides access to the concatenation of data and the DOMString specified.

Parameters

  • arg of type DOMString: The DOMString to append.

Exceptions

  • NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

fn insert_data(&mut self, offset: usize, data: &str) -> Result<()>[src]

Insert a string at the specified 16-bit unit offset.

Specification

Parameters

  • offset of type unsigned long: The character offset at which to insert.
  • arg of type DOMString: The DOMString to insert.

Exceptions

  • INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of 16-bit units in data.
  • NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

fn delete_data(&mut self, offset: usize, count: usize) -> Result<()>[src]

Remove a range of 16-bit units from the node. Upon success, data and length reflect the change.

Specification

Parameters

  • offset of type unsigned long: The offset from which to start removing.
  • count of type unsigned long: The number of 16-bit units to delete. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all 16-bit units from offset to the end of the data are deleted.

Exceptions

  • INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of 16-bit units in data, or if the specified count is negative.
  • NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

fn replace_data(
    &mut self,
    offset: usize,
    count: usize,
    data: &str
) -> Result<()>[src]

Replace the characters starting at the specified 16-bit unit offset with the specified string.

Specification

Parameters

  • offset of type unsigned long: The offset from which to start replacing.
  • count of type unsigned long: The number of 16-bit units to replace. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length, then all 16-bit units to the end of the data are replaced; (i.e., the effect is the same as a remove method call with the same range, followed by an append method invocation).
  • arg of type DOMString: The DOMString with which the range must be replaced. Exceptions

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of 16-bit units in data, or if the specified count is negative. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Provided methods

fn length(&self) -> usize[src]

The number of 16-bit units that are available through data and the substringData method below. This may have the value zero, i.e., CharacterData nodes may be empty.

Note: This implementation drops the _data suffix from the methods for clarity.

fn data(&self) -> Option<String>[src]

The character data of the node that implements this interface.

Specification

The DOM implementation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored in a CharacterData node. However, implementation limits may mean that the entirety of a node’s data may not fit into a single DOMString. In such cases, the user may call substringData to retrieve the data in appropriately sized pieces.

Exceptions on setting

  • NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

Exceptions on retrieval

  • DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.

fn set_data(&mut self, data: &str) -> Result<()>[src]

Set the data for the node; see data().

fn unset_data(&mut self) -> Result<()>[src]

Set the data for the node to None; see data().
