Usage
The following table lists the return values based on the type of DOM Object contained within PBDOM_CHARACTERDATA.
DOM Object |
Return Value |
---|---|
PBDOM_TEXT |
The text data contained within the PBDOM_TEXT object itself. For example, suppose you have the following element: <abc>MY TEXT</abc> If you have a PBDOM_TEXT object to represent the TEXT NODE "MY TEXT", then calling GetText on the PBDOM_TEXT returns the string MY TEXT. |
PBDOM_CDATA |
The string data that is contained within the CDATA section itself. For example, suppose you have the following CDATA: <![CDATA[ They're saying "x < y" & that "z > y" so I guess that means that z > x ]]> If there is a PBDOM_CDATA to represent the above CDATA section, then calling GetText returns the string: They're saying "x < y" & that "z > y" so I guess that means that z > x |
PBDOM_COMMENT |
The comment itself. For example, suppose you have the following comment: <!--This is a comment. --> Calling GetText on the comment returns the string: This is a comment. |
