The DOMLocator Interface

• Similar to SAX2's Locator interface. An application can implement this interface and then register it with the setLocator() method to find out in which line and column and file a given node appears.

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom;
  
  public interface DOMLocator {
  
    public int    getLineNumber();
    public int    getColumnNumber();
    public int    getOffset();
    public Node   getErrorNode();
    public String getUri();
  
  }

• IDL:

  interface DOMLocator {
    readonly attribute long            lineNumber;
    readonly attribute long            columnNumber;
    readonly attribute long            offset;
    readonly attribute Node errorNode;
    readonly attribute DOMString uri;
  };
