The ElementAS Interface

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

• IDL:

  interface ElementAS : Element {
  
    short                contentType();
    ASElementDeclaration getElementDeclaration() raises(DOMException);
    boolean            canSetAttribute(in DOMString attrname, 
                                       in DOMString attrval);
    boolean            canSetAttributeNode(in Node node);
    boolean            canSetAttributeNodeNS(in Node node);
    boolean            canSetAttributeNS(in DOMString attrname, 
                                         in DOMString attrval, 
                                         in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                                         in DOMString localName);
    boolean            canRemoveAttribute(in DOMString attrname);
    boolean            canRemoveAttributeNS(in DOMString attrname, 
                                            inout DOMString namespaceURI);
    boolean            canRemoveAttributeNode(in Node node);
    ASDOMStringList    getChildElements();
    ASDOMStringList    getParentElements();
    ASDOMStringList    getAttributeList();
  };

• Java binding:

     String attrval, String namespaceURI, String localName);
    public boolean canRemoveAttribute(String attrname);
