MutationEvent

implements Event

org.w3c.dom.events.MutationEvent

Class Overview

The MutationEvent interface provides specific contextual information associated with Mutation events.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract short	getAttrChange() `attrChange` indicates the type of change which triggered the DOMAttrModified event.
abstract String	getAttrName() `attrName` indicates the name of the changed `Attr` node in a DOMAttrModified event.
abstract String	getNewValue() `newValue` indicates the new value of the `Attr` node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the `CharacterData` node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.
abstract String	getPrevValue() `prevValue` indicates the previous value of the `Attr` node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the `CharacterData` node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.
abstract Node	getRelatedNode() `relatedNode` is used to identify a secondary node related to a mutation event.
abstract void	initMutationEvent(String typeArg, boolean canBubbleArg, boolean cancelableArg, Node relatedNodeArg, String prevValueArg, String newValueArg, String attrNameArg, short attrChangeArg) The `initMutationEvent` method is used to initialize the value of a `MutationEvent` created through the `DocumentEvent` interface.

Inherited Methods

From interface org.w3c.dom.events.Event

abstract boolean	getBubbles() Used to indicate whether or not an event is a bubbling event.
abstract boolean	getCancelable() Used to indicate whether or not an event can have its default action prevented.
abstract EventTarget	getCurrentTarget() Used to indicate the `EventTarget` whose `EventListeners` are currently being processed.
abstract short	getEventPhase() Used to indicate which phase of event flow is currently being evaluated.
abstract EventTarget	getTarget() Used to indicate the `EventTarget` to which the event was originally dispatched.
abstract long	getTimeStamp() Used to specify the time (in milliseconds relative to the epoch) at which the event was created.
abstract String	getType() The name of the event (case-insensitive).
abstract void	initEvent(String eventTypeArg, boolean canBubbleArg, boolean cancelableArg) The `initEvent` method is used to initialize the value of an `Event` created through the `DocumentEvent` interface.
abstract void	preventDefault() If an event is cancelable, the `preventDefault` method is used to signify that the event is to be canceled, meaning any default action normally taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur.
abstract void	stopPropagation() The `stopPropagation` method is used prevent further propagation of an event during event flow.

Constants

public static final short ADDITION

The Attr was just added.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

public static final short MODIFICATION

The Attr was modified in place.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final short REMOVAL

The Attr was just removed.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

Public Methods

public abstract short getAttrChange ()

attrChange indicates the type of change which triggered the DOMAttrModified event. The values can be MODIFICATION , ADDITION, or REMOVAL.

public abstract String getAttrName ()

attrName indicates the name of the changed Attr node in a DOMAttrModified event.

public abstract String getNewValue ()

newValue indicates the new value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.

public abstract String getPrevValue ()

prevValue indicates the previous value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.

public abstract Node getRelatedNode ()

relatedNode is used to identify a secondary node related to a mutation event. For example, if a mutation event is dispatched to a node indicating that its parent has changed, the relatedNode is the changed parent. If an event is instead dispatched to a subtree indicating a node was changed within it, the relatedNode is the changed node. In the case of the DOMAttrModified event it indicates the Attr node which was modified, added, or removed.

public abstract void initMutationEvent (String typeArg, boolean canBubbleArg, boolean cancelableArg, Node relatedNodeArg, String prevValueArg, String newValueArg, String attrNameArg, short attrChangeArg)

The initMutationEvent method is used to initialize the value of a MutationEvent created through the DocumentEvent interface. This method may only be called before the MutationEvent has been dispatched via the dispatchEvent method, though it may be called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times, the final invocation takes precedence.

Parameters

typeArg	Specifies the event type.
canBubbleArg	Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
cancelableArg	Specifies whether or not the event's default action can be prevented.
relatedNodeArg	Specifies the `Event`'s related Node.
prevValueArg	Specifies the `Event`'s `prevValue` attribute. This value may be null.
newValueArg	Specifies the `Event`'s `newValue` attribute. This value may be null.
attrNameArg	Specifies the `Event`'s `attrName` attribute. This value may be null.
attrChangeArg	Specifies the `Event`'s `attrChange` attribute
