Description
CharacterData is the superinterface for Text and Comment nodes.
Documents never contain CharacterData nodes; they contain only Text
and Comment nodes. Since both of these node types have similar
functionality, however, that functionality has been defined here so
that both Text and Comment can inherit it.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
