Hi folks,
I've just started looking at dom4j and have a couple questions I
hope someone can help me with...
I'm trying to use the package to manipulate HTML/XHTML-Transitional
documents that have mixed data elements, e.g.
<body> Before <div>Inside</div> After</body>
I'd like able to swap out "Before" for some new text or element,
swap "Before" and "After", and otherwise make a general mess of
the document programatically.
Now when I parse this document in dom4j I end up with an Element
(body) whose text is "Before After" and another element (div)
whose text is "Inside".
In fact, the "body" Element seems to have three child nodes:
Text (NodeType 3) : "Before"
Element (NodeType 1) : "Inside"
Text (NodeType 3) : "After"
My questions:
(1) What's the simplest way to grab a list of the children
of a given node? Build an XPath expression and use
selectNode? Cast it as a Branch and use node() and/or
nodeIterator()?
(2) How do I get the parent node of a Text Node? It appears as
though Text Nodes don't implement getParent(). Am I missing
something?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
-Ken
