NAME

POE::XUL::TextNode - XUL TextNode

SYNOPSIS

    use POE::XUL::Node;
    use POE::XUL::TextNode;

    # Explicitly create a TextNode
    my $node = POE::XUL::TextNode->new( "Just some text" );
    print $node->nodeValue;

    # Implicitly create a TextNode
    my $desc = Description( "This is my description node" );
    print $desc->firstChild->nodeValue;

DESCRIPTION

POE::XUL::TextNode instances is are objects for holding and manipulating plain text. This permits mixed-mode nodes, that is nodes that contain both text and other nodes.

METHODS

new

    my $textnode = POE::XUL::TextNode->new( "Some Text" );

nodeValue

    my $text = $textnode->nodeValue;

Returns the text of a TextNode. You may also set the text of the node.

    $textnode->nodeValue( $other_text );

Of course this isn't possible in the browser's DOM; it is simulated by replacing the previous node with a new one.

value

Synonym for "nodeValue".

as_xml

    my $escaped_text = $textnode->as_xml;

children

dispose

Does nothing.
