IDOMTreeWalker interface

Provides an object that can be used to traverse a filtered hierarchy of nodes or elements in a document. This interface is ideal for navigating a representation of the document's tree structure. The IDOMTreeWalker is dynamic and reflects the state of the document as it is edited or changed.

Property Description

currentNode

Sets or retrieves where the current node in a filtered TreeWalker hierarchy is positioned.
