Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
|
pbdom_document_name |
The name of a PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE object |
|
pbdom_object_ref |
A reference to a PBDOM_OBJECT to check against |
Return value
Boolean.
Returns true if this PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE is the ancestor of the input PBDOM_PBOBJECT and false otherwise.
Throws
EXCEPTION_INVALID_ARGUMENT -- The input PBDOM_OBJECT is invalid. This can happen if it has not been initialized properly or is a null object reference.
Usage
This method checks to see whether the current PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE is the ancestor object of the input PBDOM_OBJECT. According to the W3C DOM specification, only a PBDOM_TEXT and a PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object can become a child object of a PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE, and therefore a PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE can only be an ancestor of a PBDOM_TEXT or a PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object.
