public interface MutationEvent extends Event

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

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

Since: DOM Level 2

Field Summary
static shortADDITION
The Attr was just added.
static shortMODIFICATION
The Attr was modified in place.
static shortREMOVAL
The Attr was just removed.
Method Summary
shortgetAttrChange()
attrChange indicates the type of change which triggered the DOMAttrModified event.
StringgetAttrName()
attrName indicates the name of the changed Attr node in a DOMAttrModified event.
StringgetNewValue()
newValue indicates the new value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharDataModified events.
StringgetPrevValue()
prevValue indicates the previous value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharDataModified events.
NodegetRelatedNode()
relatedNode is used to identify a secondary node related to a mutation event.
voidinitMutationEvent(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.

Field Detail

ADDITION

public static final short ADDITION
The Attr was just added.

MODIFICATION

public static final short MODIFICATION
The Attr was modified in place.

REMOVAL

public static final short REMOVAL
The Attr was just removed.

Method Detail

getAttrChange

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

getAttrName

public String getAttrName()
attrName indicates the name of the changed Attr node in a DOMAttrModified event.

getNewValue

public String getNewValue()
newValue indicates the new value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharDataModified events.

getPrevValue

public String getPrevValue()
prevValue indicates the previous value of the Attr node in DOMAttrModified events, and of the CharacterData node in DOMCharDataModified events.

getRelatedNode

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.

initMutationEvent

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.

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
