ChildNode

The ChildNode interface contains methods that are particular to Node objects that can have a parent.

ChildNode is a raw interface and no object of this type can be created; it is implemented by Element, DocumentType, and CharacterData objects.

There are neither inherited, nor specific properties.

There are no inherited methods.

ChildNode.remove(): Removes this ChildNode from the children list of its parent.
ChildNode.before(): Inserts a set of Node or DOMString objects in the children list of this ChildNode's parent, just before this ChildNode. DOMString objects are inserted as equivalent Text nodes.
ChildNode.after(): Inserts a set of Node or DOMString objects in the children list of this ChildNode's parent, just after this ChildNode. DOMString objects are inserted as equivalent Text nodes.
ChildNode.replaceWith(): Replaces this ChildNode in the children list of its parent with a set of Node or DOMString objects. DOMString objects are inserted as equivalent Text nodes.

Specification	Status	Comment
DOM The definition of 'ChildNode' in that specification.	Living Standard	Split the `ElementTraversal` interface in `ParentNode` and `ChildNode`. `previousElementSibling` and `nextElementSibling` are now defined on the latter. The `CharacterData` and `DocumentType` implemented the new interfaces. Added the `remove()`, `before()`, `after()` and `replaceWith()` methods.
Element Traversal Specification The definition of 'ElementTraversal' in that specification.	Obsolete	Added the initial definition of its properties to the `ElementTraversal` pure interface and use it on `Element`.
