C.7 Comment Node Mapping

Comment Node Mapping

Infoset to Comment Node[top]

Infoset to Comment Node

A comment information item maps to a Comment node. The attributes of the corresponding Comment node are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of an Infoset information item to a Node Attribute Value

11`Node.nodeName`	11`"#comment"`
11`Node.nodeValue`	11same as `CharacterData.data`
11`Node.nodeType`	11`Node.COMMENT_NODE`
11`Node.parentNode`	11The [parent] property
11`Node.childNodes`	11empty `NodeList`
11`Node.firstChild`	11`null`
11`Node.lastChild`	11`null`
11`Node.previousSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.nextSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.attributes`	11`null`
11`Node.ownerDocument`	11The document information item
11`Node.namespaceURI`	11`null`
11`Node.prefix`	11`null`
11`Node.localName`	11`null`
11`Node.baseURI`	11`null`
11`Node.textContent`	11same as `Node.nodeValue`
11`CharacterData.data`	11 The [content] property encoded using the UTF-16 encoding.
11`CharacterData.length`	11 The number of 16-bit units needed to encode all ISO character code contained in the [content] property using the UTF-16 encoding.

Comment Node to Infoset[top]

Comment Node to Infoset

A Comment maps to a comment information item. The properties of the corresponding comment information item are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of a Node to the Infoset Property Value

11[content]	11`CharacterData.data`
11[parent]	11`Node.parentNode`
