The ElementCM Interface

• Extends the DOM2 Element interface with methods for guided document editing.

• IDL:

    interface ElementCM : Element {
      int                contentType();
      ElementDeclaration getElementDeclaration()
                                          raises(dom::DOMException);
      boolean            canSetAttribute(in DOMString attrname, 
                                         in DOMString attrval);
      boolean            canSetAttributeNode(in Node node);
      boolean            canSetAttributeNodeNS(in Node node, 
                                               in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                                               in DOMString localName);
      boolean            canSetAttributeNS(in DOMString attrname, 
                                           in DOMString attrval, 
                                           in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                                           in DOMString localName);
    };
  

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom.contentModel;
  
  public interface ElementCM extends Element {
  
      public int contentType();
  
      public ElementDeclaration getElementDeclaration()
       throws DOMException;
  
      public boolean canSetAttribute(String attrname, String attrval);
      public boolean canSetAttributeNode(Node node);
      public boolean canSetAttributeNodeNS(Node node, 
       String namespaceURI, String localName);
      public boolean canSetAttributeNS(String attrname, 
       String attrval, String namespaceURI, String localName);
       
  }
