Methods

getBindingURLs()

Returns an array of nsIURI objects representing the current XML binding for the specified element.

nsIArray getBindingURLs(
  in nsIDOMElement aElement
);
Parameters
aElement
A DOM Element to retrieve the bindings of.
Return value

An array of nsIURI objects representing the current XBL binding (if any) for the element and its hierarchy of base bindings.

getChildrenForNode()

Returns a list of DOM nodes that are children of the specified node.

nsIDOMNodeList getChildrenForNode(
  in nsIDOMNode aNode,
  in boolean aShowingAnonymousContent
);
Parameters
aNode
A DOM Node for which to retrieve the style nodes.
aShowingAnonymousContent
Whether you are interested in the XBL flattened tree.
Return value

A DOM NodeList of the child nodes. If you have requested anonymous content, then if the element has an XBL binding then this will be the binding's anonymous nodes, otherwise if the element is itself an anonymous node containing an insertion point then this will be a list combining the element's explicit children from its binding parent's anonymous nodes and any children inserted as a result of the insertion point.

getContentState()

A bit mask of the supported content state flags, which are listed in Content state flags.

unsigned long long getContentState(
  in nsIDOMElement aElement
);
Parameters
aElement
A DOM Element to retrieve the content states of.
Return value

A bitmask of one of the 6 supported content state flags specified in Content state flags.

getCSSPropertyNames()

Get a list of all our supported property names

void getCSSPropertyNames(
  in unsigned long aFlags, Optional
  out unsigned long aCount, Optional
  [retval, array, size_is(aCount)] out wstring aProps
);
Parameters
aFlags Optional
Shorthands can be excluded or property aliases included. See constants.
aCount Optional
Count
aProps
Properties

getCSSStyleRules()

Returns an array of the CSS style rules on the specified element.

nsISupportsArray getCSSStyleRules(
  in nsIDOMElement aElement,
  in DOMString aPseudo Optional
);
Parameters
aElement
A DOM element to retrieve the style rules of.
aPseudo Optional
A pseudo element, such as before.
Return value

An nsISupportsArray containing all the style rules that currently apply to the element, in ascending order of weight.

getParentForNode()

Returns the parent of the specified node.

nsIDOMNode getParentForNode(
  in nsIDOMNode aNode,
  in boolean aShowingAnonymousContent
);
Parameters
aNode
The node to return the parent of.
aShowingAnonymousContent
Whether you are interested in the XBL flattened tree.
Return value

Returns the parent of a node. The parent of a document node is the frame/iframe containing that document. If you have requested anonymous content and the element's parent has an XBL binding then the element containing the insertion point is returned instead.

getRuleLine()

Returns the line number of the specified CSS style rule in its source file.

unsigned long getRuleLine(
  in nsIDOMCSSStyleRule aRule
);
Parameters
aRule
The style rule to retrieve the line number of.
Return value

The line number of the style rule; the URL of the rule can be obtained from its parent style sheet object.

getRuleColumn()

Returns the column number of the specified CSS style rule in its source file.

unsigned long getRuleColumn(
  in nsIDOMCSSStyleRule aRule
);
Parameters
aRule
The style rule to retrieve the column number of.
Return value

The column number of the style rule; the URL of the rule can be obtained from its parent style sheet object.

getUsedFontFaces()

Returns a list of the fonts specified using @font-face in the specified portion of the document.

nsIDOMFontFaceList getUsedFontFaces(
  in nsIDOMRange aRange
);
Parameters
aRange
The DOM range to retrieve the font faces of.
Return value

An nsIDOMFontFaceList object listing all the font faces used by the text in the range.

isIgnorableWhitespace()

Determines if the specified text node contains only ignorable whitespace characters.

boolean isIgnorableWhitespace(
  in nsIDOMCharacterData aDataNode
);
Parameters
aDataNode
A DOM CharacterData node; that is, a text node.
Return value

true if the node only contains insignificant whitespace. In particular, this will be false if certain CSS white-space styles are in effect.

isInheritedProperty()

Determines if the specified string names a CSS property that is inherited by default.

boolean isInheritedProperty(
  in AString aPropertyName
);
Parameters
aPropertyName
The name of the CSS property.
Return value

true if the property is inherited, otherwise false.

parseStyleSheet()

Parse CSS and update the style sheet in place.

void parseStyleSheet(
  in nsIDOMCSSStyleSheet aSheet,
  in DOMString aInput
);
Parameters
aSheet
A DOMCSSStyleSheet.
aInput
A DOMString. The new source string for the style sheet.
Return value

void

setContentState()

Parameters
aElement
The element to set the content state of.
aState
The content state to set. This must be one (and only one) of the values listed in Content state flags.

selectorMatchesElement()

Checks if a given selector from a style rule matches an element.

bool selectorMatchesElement (

  in DOMString aPseudo Optional
)
Parameters
aElement
The element to check the selector against.
aRule
The style rule containing the selector.
aSelectorIndex
The index of the selector.
aPseudo Optional
A string specifying the pseudo-element to match. May be omitted when checking the regular elements.

addPseudoClassLock()

Makes the element take on style properties that would apply if the element had the given pseudo-classes.

void addPseudoClassLock(
  in nsIDOMElement aElement,
  in DOMString aPseudoClass
);
Parameters
aElement
The element to set the pseudo-class lock on.
aPseudoClass
The pseudo-class to set. e.g. ":hover".

removePseudoClassLock()

The pseudo-class to remove the lock of. e.g. ":hover".

hasPseudoClassLock()

Checks whether the element element has a particular pseudo-class lock applied.
