NodeIterator.expandEntityReferences
Deprecated
This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Do not use it in old or new projects. Pages or Web apps using it may break at any time.
The NodeIterator.expandEntityReferences
read-only property returns a Boolean
flag indicating whether or not the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the NodeIterator
.
If this value is false
, the children of entity reference nodes (as well as all of their descendants) are rejected. This takes precedence over the value of the NodeIterator.whatToShow
method and the associated filter.
Syntax
expand = nodeIterator.expandEntityReferences;
Example
var nodeIterator = document.createNodeIterator( document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_ELEMENT, { acceptNode: function(node) { return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT; } }, false ); expand = nodeIterator.expandEntityReferences;
