Name
CDATASection: a CDATA node in an XML document â DOM Level 1 XML: Node â CharacterData â Text â CDATASection
Description
This infrequently used interface represents a CDATA section in an XML document. Programmers working with HTML documents never encounter nodes of this type and do not need to use this interface.
CDATASection is a subinterface of Text and does not define any
properties or methods of its own. The textual content of the CDATA
section is available through the nodeValue property inherited from Node or
through the data property
inherited from CharacterData. Although CDATASection nodes can often
be treated in the same way as Text nodes, note that the Node.normalize( ) method does not merge
adjacent CDATA sections. Create a CDATASection with Document.createCDATASection( ).
