fireEvent(handler [, event]) Causes the event handler given by the string handler to
fire. If an Event instance was passed as event, the new event created reflects the
properties of event. (IE5.5+)
focus() Gives focus to the element.
getAdjacentText(where) Returns the string of text corresponding to the text string at
position where, with respect to the current node. The where parameter is a string with
the following values:
Value of
where
String Returned
"beforeBegin" Text immediately preceding element‘s opening tag (back to but not
including first element encountered).
"afterBegin" Text immediately following the element‘s opening tag (up to but not
including the first nested element).
"beforeEnd" Text immediately preceding the element‘s closing tag (back to but not
including the closing tag of the last enclosed element).
"afterEnd" Text immediately following element‘s closing tag (up to but not including the
first following tag).
There is no standard DOM method that mimics this behavior. Instead, you must examine the
previousSibling, firstChild, lastChild, or nextSibling (in order corresponding to the values of
where in the preceding table) and extract the string manually from their text node(s). (IE5+)
getAttribute(name) Returns a string containing the value of the attribute specified in
the string name or null if it does not exist. (IE4+, MOZ/N6+, DOM1 Core)
getAttributeNode(name) Returns the attribute node corresponding to the attribute in
the string name. (IE6+, MOZ/N6+, DOM1 Core)
getBoundingClientRect() Retrieves a TextRectangle with properties top, bottom,
left, right indicating the pixel values of the rectangle in which the element‘s content is
enclosed. (IE5+)
getClientRects() Retrieves a collection of TextRectangle objects, which give the pixel
coordinates of all bounding rectangles contained in the element. (IE5+)
getElementsByTagName(tagname) Retrieves a collection of elements corresponding
to the tag given in string tagname. A value of "*" retrieves all tags. (IE5+, MOZ/N6+,
DOM1 Core)
getExpression(propertyName) Retrieves the string giving the dynamic property
expression for the property/attribute named propertyName. (IE5+)
hasAttribute(name) Returns a Boolean indicating if the attribute given in string name
is defined for the node (explicitly or by default). (MOZ/N6+, DOM2 Core)
hasAttributes() Returns a Boolean indicating if any attributes are defined for the node.
(MOZ/N6+, DOM2 Core)
hasChildNodes() Returns a Boolean indicating if the node has children. (IE5+,
MOZ/N6+, DOM1 Core)
insertAdjacentElement(where, element) Inserts the element object given in element
adjacent to the current element in the position given by the string where (IE5+).The
possible values for where include these:
Value of
where
Effect
"beforeBegin" Inserts immediately before the object.
"afterBegin" Inserts after the start of the object but before all other content.
"beforeEnd" Inserts immediately before the end of the object, after all other content.
"afterEnd" Inserts immediately after the end of the object.
insertAdjacentHTML(where, text) Inserts the HTML given in string text adjacent to
