org.w3c.dom.events
public interface: MutationEvent [javadoc | source]

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Event

All Known Implementing Classes:
    MutationEventImpl

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

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.

Field Summary
public static final  short MODIFICATION    The Attr was modified in place. 
public static final  short ADDITION    The Attr was just added. 
public static final  short REMOVAL    The Attr was just removed. 
Method from org.w3c.dom.events.MutationEvent Summary:
getAttrChange,   getAttrName,   getNewValue,   getPrevValue,   getRelatedNode,   initMutationEvent
Method from org.w3c.dom.events.MutationEvent Detail:
 public short getAttrChange()
    attrChange indicates the type of change which triggered the DOMAttrModified event. The values can be MODIFICATION , ADDITION, or REMOVAL.
 public String getAttrName()
    attrName indicates the name of the changed Attr node in a DOMAttrModified event.
 public String getNewValue()
    newValue indicates the new value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.
 public String getPrevValue()
    prevValue indicates the previous value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharacterDataModified events.
 public 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  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.
