This specification defines the Document Object Model Level 2 HTML, a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content and structure of [HTML 4.01] and [XHTML 1.0] documents. The Document Object Model Level 2 HTML builds on the Document Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core] and is not backward compatible with DOM Level 1 HTML [DOM Level 1].
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.
This is the 07 October 2002 W3C Candidate Recommendation of "DOM Level 2 HTML". This version updates the 5 June 2002 version based on the feedback from the implementers and the results of the DOM Level 2 HTML Test Suite.
The DOM Working Group expects to request that the Director advance this specification to Proposed Recommendation after the DOM Working Group documents two interoperable implementations of at least one normative binding. The two implementations must be produced by different organizations. The new review period ends on 16 October 2002. Please send review comments before the review period ends to www-dom@w3.org (archive).
Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than "work in progress."
Some changes from DOM Level 1 HTML are incompatible with that specification but represent more accurately the state of deployed software. Therefore, this specification renders the DOM Level 1 HTML Recommendation obsolete. W3C strongly suggests that developers and authors conform to DOM Level 2 HTML instead.
Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the Working Group's public patent disclosure page.

This section extends the DOM Level 2 Core API [DOM Level 2 Core] to describe objects and methods specific to HTML documents [HTML 4.01], and XHTML documents [XHTML 1.0]. In general, the functionality needed to manipulate hierarchical document structures, elements, and attributes will be found in the core section; functionality that depends on the specific elements defined in HTML will be found in this section.
The goals of the HTML-specific DOM API are:
The key differences between the core DOM and the HTML application of DOM is that the HTML Document Object Model exposes a number of convenience methods and properties that are consistent with the existing models and are more appropriate to script writers. In many cases, these enhancements are not applicable to a general DOM because they rely on the presence of a predefined DTD. The transitional or frameset DTD for HTML 4.01, or the XHTML 1.0 DTDs are assumed. Interoperability between implementations is only guaranteed for elements and attributes that are specified in the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 DTDs.
More specifically, this document includes the following specializations for HTML:
HTMLDocument
interface,
derived from the core Document
interface. HTMLDocument
specifies the operations and queries that can be made on a HTML
document.HTMLElement
interface, derived from the core Element
interface. HTMLElement
specifies the
operations and queries that can be made on any HTML element.
Methods on HTMLElement
include those
that allow for the retrieval and modification of attributes that
apply to all HTML elements.HTMLElement
interface. For
all such attributes, the derived interface for the element contains
explicit methods for setting and getting the values.The DOM Level 2 includes mechanisms to access and modify style specified through CSS and defines an event model that can be used with HTML documents.
The interfaces found within this section are not mandatory. A
DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature,
version)
method of the DOMImplementation
interface with parameter values "HTML" and "2.0" (respectively) to
determine whether or not this module is supported by the
implementation. In addition to the feature string "HTML", the
feature string "XHTML" (version string "2.0") can be used to check
if the implementation supports XHTML (this is equivalent to
checking the features "XML" and "HTML"). In order to fully support
this module, an implementation must also support the "Core" feature
defined [DOM Level 2 Core]. Please refer to
additional information about
conformance in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2
Core].
A DOM application can use the hasFeature
method of
the DOMImplementation
interface to determine whether
they are supported or not. The feature string for all the
interfaces listed in this section is "HTML" and the version is
"2.0". In order to fully support this feature, an implementation
needs also to support the "Core" feature defined in the Document
Object Model Level 2 Core [DOM Level 2 Core] (see also
Conformance).
The interfaces in this specification are designed for [HTML 4.01] documents, as well as for [XHTML 1.0] documents.
The HTML DOM follows a naming convention for properties, methods, events, collections, and data types. All names are defined as one or more English words concatenated together to form a single string.
The property or method name starts with the initial keyword in lowercase, and each subsequent word starts with a capital letter. For example, a property that returns document meta information such as the date the file was created might be named "fileDateCreated". In the ECMAScript binding, properties are exposed as properties of a given object. In Java, properties are exposed with get and set methods.
While most of the interfaces defined below can be mapped directly to elements defined in the HTML 4.01 Recommendation, some of them cannot. Similarly, not all attributes listed below have counterparts in the HTML 4.01 specification (and some do, but have been renamed to avoid conflicts with scripting languages). Interfaces and attribute definitions that have links to the HTML 4.0 specification have corresponding element and attribute definitions there; all others are added by this specification, either for convenience or backwards compatibility with DOM Level 0 implementations.
The DOM HTML Level 1 API [DOM Level 1] were originally intended to be used only for HTML 4.01 documents [HTML 4.01]. The APIs were defined well before XHTML 1.0 [XHTML 1.0] became a specification, or before it was worked on by the HTML Working Group.
From the DOM point of view, The biggest difference between HTML 4.01 (and earlier) and XHTML 1.0 is that XHTML is case sensitive, whereas HTML 4.01 is case insensitive. The HTML case insensitivity is also reflected in the DOM HTML API. For instance, element and attribute names are exposed as all uppercase (for consistency) when used on an HTML document, regardless of the character case used in the markup. Since XHTML is based on XML, in XHTML everything is case sensitive, and element and attribute names must be lowercase in the markup.
Developers need to take two things into account when writing
code that works on both HTML and XHTML documents. When comparing
element or attribute names to strings, the string compare needs to
be case insensitive, or the element or attribute name needs to be
converted into lowercase before comparing against a lowercase
string. Second, when calling methods that are case insensitive when
used on a HTML document (such as
getElementsByTagName()
and namedItem()
),
the string that is passed in should be lowercase.
Note: The interfaces provided in this document are only for [HTML 4.01] and [XHTML 1.0] documents and are not guaranteed to work with any future version of XHTML.
An HTMLCollection
is a list of nodes. An individual
node may be accessed by either ordinal index or the node's
name
or id
attributes.
Note: Collections in the HTML DOM are assumed to be live meaning that they are automatically updated when the underlying document is changed.

An HTMLDocument
is the root of the HTML hierarchy
and holds the entire content. Besides providing access to the
hierarchy, it also provides some convenience methods for
accessing certain sets of information from the document.
The following properties have been deprecated in favor of the
corresponding ones for the BODY
element:
Note: In DOM Level 2, the method
getElementById
is inherited from the
Document
interface where it was moved to.
interface HTMLDocument : Document { attribute DOMString title; readonly attribute DOMString referrer; readonly attribute DOMString domain; readonly attribute DOMString URL; attribute HTMLElement body; readonly attribute HTMLCollection images; readonly attribute HTMLCollection applets; readonly attribute HTMLCollection links; readonly attribute HTMLCollection forms; readonly attribute HTMLCollection anchors; attribute DOMString cookie; // raises(DOMException) on setting void open(); void close(); void write(in DOMString text); void writeln(in DOMString text); NodeList getElementsByName(in DOMString elementName); };

document with a value for the name

Note: For reasons of backward compatibility, the returned
set of anchors only contains those anchors created with the
name
attribute, not those created with the
id
attribute. Note that in [XHTML 1.0],
the name
attribute (see section
4.10) has no semantics and is only present for legacy user
agents: the id
attribute is used instead. Users should
prefer the iterator mechanisms provided by [DOM

by zero or more cookie attribute values. If no domain attribute is
specified, then the domain attribute for the new value defaults to
the host portion of an absolute URI [IETF RFC 2396] of the current
frame or document. If no path attribute is specified, then the path
attribute for the new value defaults to the absolute path portion
of the URI [IETF RFC 2396] of the current frame
or document. If no max-age attribute is specified, then the max-age
attribute for the new value defaults to a user agent defined value.
If a cookie with the specified name is already associated with the
current frame or document, then the new value as well as the new
attributes replace the old value and attributes. If a max-age
attribute of 0 is specified for the new value, then any existing
cookies of the specified name are removed from the cookie storage.

HTML attributes are exposed as properties on the element object. The DOM naming conventions always determine the name of the exposed property, and are independent of the case of the attribute in the source document. The data type of the property is in general determined by the type of the attribute as determined by the HTML 4.01 (transitional and frameset) and XHTML 1.0 DTDs. The attributes have the semantics (including case-sensitivity) given in the [HTML 4.01] and [XHTML 1.0] specifications.
The attributes are exposed as properties for compatibility with
DOM Level 0.
This usage is deprecated because it can not be generalized to all
possible attribute names for XML. We recommend the use of generic
methods on the core Element
interface for setting,
getting and removing attributes.
DTD Data Type | Object Model Data Type |
---|---|
CDATA | DOMString |
Value list (e.g., (left | right | center)) | DOMString |
one-value Value list (e.g., (disabled)) | boolean |
Number | long int |
In an HTML document the return value of an attribute that has a data type that is a value list is normalized to lowercase (independent of the case of the value in the source document).
For example, if the value of the align attribute on a P element
is "Left" (which is not a valid value in XHTML due to the case
sensitivity of XHTML) then the value is returned as "left". For
attributes with the CDATA
data type, the case of the
return value is that given in the source document.
The return value of an attribute that is unspecified and does not have a default value is the empty string if the return type is a DOMString, false if the return type is a boolean and 0 if the return type is a number.
To avoid namespace conflicts, two attributes with the same name
as a keyword in one of our chosen binding languages were
prefixed. The for
attribute of the LABEL
and SCRIPT
elements collides with loop construct
naming conventions and is renamed htmlFor
. The
class
attribute of the HTML elements collides with
class definitions naming conventions and is renamed
className
.
tagName
, (nodeName
))If the document is an HTML 4.01 document the element type names
exposed through a property are in uppercase. For example, the body
element type name is exposed through the tagName
property as BODY
. If the document is an XHTML 1.0
document the element name is exposed as it is written in the XHTML
file. This means that the element type names are exposed in
lowercase for XHTML documents since the XHTML 1.0 DTDs defines
element type names as lowercase, and XHTML, being derived from XML,
is case sensitive.
All HTML element interfaces derive from this class. Elements
that only expose the HTML core attributes are represented by the
base HTMLElement
interface. These elements are as
follows:
Note: The style
attribute of an HTML element
is accessible through the ElementCSSInlineStyle
interface which is defined in the CSS module [DOM Level 2
Style Sheets and CSS].

Unfortunately the OMG IDL in this appendix is not conformant due
to problems in the validator that was used to validate Level 1. The
readOnly
attribute on the HTMLInputElement
and HTMLTextAreaElement
interfaces, as well as the object
attribute on the HTMLAppletElement
interface, are not conformant with OMG IDL 2.2. The
valueType
attribute on the HTMLParamElement
interface
is not conformant with OMG IDL 2.3.1, which hadn't been released
when DOM Level 1 [DOM Level 1] was published.
The IDL files are also available as: http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/CR-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20021007/idl.zip

This appendix contains the complete ECMAScript [ECMAScript] binding for the Level 2 Document Object Model HTML definitions.
Note: Exceptions handling is only supported by ECMAScript implementation conformant with the Standard ECMA-262 3rd. Edition ([ECMAScript]).
HTMLAnchorElement objects in String
expressions are
evaluated as HTMLAnchorElement.href
.
For example:
alert(" The absolute URI is " + myAnchorElement);
is equivalent to
alert(" The absolute URI is " + myAnchorElement.href);
Many people contributed to this specification, including members of the DOM Working Group and the DOM Interest Group. We especially thank the following:
Andy Heninger (IBM), Arnaud Le Hors (W3C and IBM), Bill Smith (Sun), Bill Shea (Merrill Lynch), Chris Lovett (Microsoft), Chris Wilson (Microsoft), David Brownell (Sun), Glenn Adams (ATSC), James Davidson (Sun), Joe Kesselman (IBM), Joe Lapp (webMethods), Joe Marini (Macromedia), Johnny Stenback (Netscape), Jonathan Marsh (Microsoft), Jonathan Robie (Texcel Research and Software AG), Kim Adamson-Sharpe (SoftQuad Software Inc.), Lauren Wood (SoftQuad Software Inc., former Chair), Laurence Cable (Sun), Mark Davis (IBM), Mark Scardina (Oracle), Martin Dürst (W3C), Mick Goulish (Software AG), Mike Champion (Arbortext and Software AG), Miles Sabin (Cromwell Media), Patti Lutsky (Arbortext), Paul Grosso (Arbortext), Peter Sharpe (SoftQuad Software Inc.), Phil Karlton (Netscape), Philippe Le Hégaret (W3C, W3C team contact and former Chair), Ramesh Lekshmynarayanan (Merrill Lynch), Ray Whitmer (iMall, Excite@Home, Netscape and Chair), Rich Rollman (Microsoft), Rick Gessner (Netscape), Tom Pixley (Netscape), Vidur Apparao (Netscape), Vinod Anupam (Lucent).
Thanks to all those who have helped to improve this specification by sending suggestions and corrections.
The W3C tried to produce the most useful and accurate specification as possible but we wouldn't have been able to do so without the help of the DOM Test Suite effort. Special thanks to Curt Arnold, Rick Rivello (NIST), Robert Clary (Netscape) and Dimitris Dimitriadis for the DOM Level 2 HTML Test Suite. The DOM Test Suite is based on the test suite developed by Mary Brady (NIST).
This specification was written in XML. The HTML, OMG IDL, Java and ECMAScript bindings were all produced automatically.
This document was generated using DOM Level 2. We used Xerces as the basis DOM implementation and wish to thank the authors. Philippe Le Hégaret and Arnaud Le Hors wrote the Java programs which are the DOM application.
The authors of the DOM Level 1 specification, members of the DOM Working Group, deserve much credit for their hard work:
Lauren Wood (SoftQuad, Inc., chair), Arnaud Le Hors (W3C, W3C staff contact), Andrew Watson (Object Management Group), Bill Smith (Sun), Chris Lovett (Microsoft), Chris Wilson (Microsoft), David Brownell (Sun), David Singer (IBM), Don Park (invited), Eric Vasilik (Microsoft), Gavin Nicol (INSO), Ian Jacobs (W3C), James Clark (invited), Jared Sorensen (Novell), Jonathan Robie (Texcel Research and Software AG), Mike Champion (ArborText and Software AG), Paul Grosso (ArborText), Peter Sharpe (SoftQuad, Inc.), Phil Karlton (Netscape), Ray Whitmer (iMall), Rich Rollman (Microsoft), Rick Gessner (Netscape), Robert Sutor (IBM), Scott Isaacs (Microsoft), Sharon Adler (INSO), Steve Byrne (JavaSoft), Tim Bray (invited), Tom Pixley (Netscape), Vidur Apparao (Netscape).
Thanks to Joe English, author of cost for helping so much in allowing us to develop a framework that made the production of this specification possible.
Thanks to Jan Kärrman, author of html2ps for helping so much in creating the Postscript version of the specification.
The editors of the first version of the DOM HTML module were Mike Champion (ArborText), Vidur Apparao (Netscape), Scott Isaacs (Microsoft, January 1998), Chris Wilson (Microsoft, after January 1998), and Ian Jacobs (W3C).
