Class Overview

DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using NodeList.

Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent exception if a null argument is passed when null was not expected.

Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, methods may return error codes similar to those listed in the corresponding method descriptions.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Summary

Constants
shortDOMSTRING_SIZE_ERRIf the specified range of text does not fit into a DOMString.
shortHIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERRIf any Node is inserted somewhere it doesn't belong.
shortINDEX_SIZE_ERRIf index or size is negative, or greater than the allowed value.
shortINUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERRIf an attempt is made to add an attribute that is already in use elsewhere.
shortINVALID_ACCESS_ERRIf a parameter or an operation is not supported by the underlying object.
shortINVALID_CHARACTER_ERRIf an invalid or illegal character is specified, such as in an XML name.
shortINVALID_MODIFICATION_ERRIf an attempt is made to modify the type of the underlying object.
shortINVALID_STATE_ERRIf an attempt is made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable.
shortNAMESPACE_ERRIf an attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces.
shortNOT_FOUND_ERRIf an attempt is made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist.
shortNOT_SUPPORTED_ERRIf the implementation does not support the requested type of object or operation.
shortNO_DATA_ALLOWED_ERRIf data is specified for a Node which does not support data.
shortNO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERRIf an attempt is made to modify an object where modifications are not allowed.
shortSYNTAX_ERRIf an invalid or illegal string is specified.
shortTYPE_MISMATCH_ERRIf the type of an object is incompatible with the expected type of the parameter associated to the object.
shortVALIDATION_ERRIf a call to a method such as insertBefore or removeChild would make the Node invalid with respect to "partial validity", this exception would be raised and the operation would not be done.
shortWRONG_DOCUMENT_ERRIf a Node is used in a different document than the one that created it (that doesn't support it).
