Description
A Text node represents a run of plain text in an HTML or XML
document. Plain text appears within HTML and XML elements and
attributes, and Text nodes typically appear as children of Element
and Attr nodes. Text nodes inherit from CharacterData, and the
textual content of a Text node is available through the
data property inherited from CharacterData or
through the nodeValue property inherited from
Node. Text nodes may be manipulated using any of the methods
inherited from CharacterData or with the splitText(
) method defined by the Text interface itself. Text nodes
never have children.
See Node.normalize( ) for a way to remove empty Text
nodes and merge adjacent Text nodes from a subtree of a document.
