DOM object properties
These are some of the properties we think would be useful in
the context of this book. The descriptions below are limited to
our needs and, while being detailed they may not fully describe
the capabilities of each object. More complete descriptions can
be read from the documentation or on the Microsoft website.
The listing below is a list of all the properties for all of
the XMLDOM objects. Use this chart when you need to find a
property in one of the interfaces that could be useful for
something that you are trying accomplish. The properties that are
bolded in table are the ones that we will explain. As mentioned
before, they have been selected because they are properties and
methods we think would be useful in the context of this book.
