DOM Level 2 Traversal
Synopsis
void detach( );Description
DOM implementations keep track of all NodeIterator objects created
for a document, because they may need to modify the state of the
NodeIterator when certain Document nodes are deleted. When you are
certain that a NodeIterator isn't needed anymore, call
detach( ) to tell the implementation that it no
longer needs to keep track of it. Note, however, that once you call
this method any subsequent call to nextNode( ) or
previousNode( ) will throw an exception.
Calling detach( ) is not required, but doing so
may improve performance when the document is being modified and the
NodeIterator object is not immediately garbage collected.

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.
