Objects implementing theNamedNodeMap
interface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name. Note thatNamedNodeMap
does not inherit fromNodeList
;NamedNodeMaps
are not maintained in any particular order. Objects contained in an object implementingNamedNodeMap
may also be accessed by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration of the contents of aNamedNodeMap
, and does not imply that the DOM specifies an order to these Nodes.
NamedNodeMap
objects in the DOM are live.
See also theDocument Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification.
getLength() The number of nodes in this map. | |
getNamedItem(java.lang.String name) Retrieves a node specified by name. | |
getNamedItemNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String localName) Retrieves a node specified by local name and namespace URI. | |

removeNamedItem(java.lang.String name) Removes a node specified by name. | |
removeNamedItemNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String localName) Removes a node specified by local name and namespace URI. | |
setNamedItem(Node arg) Adds a node using its nodeName attribute. | |
