Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Chapter 14. Document Object Methods Index

Entries in the following index are arranged alphabetically by scriptable object methods. You can look up a method to find out which document objects support it. This listing is a union of methods defined for objects in Navigator 4, Internet Explorer 4, and a working draft of the DOM. The same method name may mean different things for different objects. Be sure to look up the details of the method listing in Chapter 9, to find if the method is available for the browser(s) used by your intended audience and whether it does what you want. Objects shown in all uppercase letters are objects that reflect HTML elements of the same name. The following objects reflect specific types of INPUT elements: button, checkbox, fileUpload, password, radio, reset, submit, and text.
