DOM object methods
Here are some of the methods we think would be useful in the
context of this book. More complete descriptions can be read from
the documentation or on the Microsoft website.
The listing below is a list of all the methods for all of the
XMLDom objects. Use this chart when you need to find a method in
one of the interfaces that could be useful for something that you
are trying accomplish. We have found this list very useful for
when we want to do something, like finding the value of an
attribute, but don't know what methods are available because
there are so many DOM objects. We discover that in the
XMLDOMElement interface, there is a method called getAttribute().
If you didn't know it existed there, you might try to do the
same thing using the XMLDOMNode interface.
As with the properties before them, the methods that are
bolded in table are the ones that we will explain.
