TreeWalker: whatToShow property
The TreeWalker.whatToShow
read-only property returns a
bitmask that indicates the types of
nodes to show. Non-matching nodes are skipped, but their
children may be included, if relevant. The possible values are:
Constant | Numerical value | Description |
---|---|---|
NodeFilter.SHOW_ALL |
4294967295 (that is the max value of unsigned long ) |
Shows all nodes. |
NodeFilter.SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
Deprecated
|
2 |
Shows attribute Attr nodes. This is meaningful
only when creating a TreeWalker with an
Attr node as its root; in this case, it means
that the attribute node will appear in the first position of the
iteration or traversal. Since attributes are never children of other
nodes, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.
